-----------------------------------------
Extended the Sling API with the new Resource.getResourceSuperType method in
Rev. 631599.
> Add Resource Type inheritance
> -----------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-278
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-278
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Resource, ServletResolver
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> As discussed on the dev-list [1], resource type inheritance for
> script/servlet resolution should be implemented as follows:
> * define an optional property sling:resourceSuperType which may take a
> resource type used as
> the super type of a resource type. This property is stored at the
> node where the scripts
> are located for the resource type or at the node itself. (see below)
> * the resourceSuperType of a property resource is the resourceSuperType of
> the parent node
> plus the property name.
> * define a sling:ResourceSuperType mixin node type, which defines the
> sling:resourceType
> property for it to be attachable to any node.
> * Add Resource.getResourceSuperType() returning the super type of the
> resource type or
> null if no such super type exists.
> * Add support to the Servlet Resolver to resolve scripts not just for the
> resource type but also
> for the super type (if defined). This super type resolution takes
> place before falling back
> default scripts !
> Sample:
> /
> +--- types
> +--- type1
> +--- type2
> +--- sling:resourceSuperType = type1
> +--- type3
> +--- content
> +--- en
> +--- sling:resourceType = type2
> +--- en
> +--- sling:resourceType = type2
> +--- sling:resourceSuperType = type3
> The resource super types are defined as follows:
> /types/type1 --> no super type
> /types/type2 --> type1, due to sling:resoureSuperType property
> /content/en --> type1, due to sling:resourceSuperType property in
> types/type2
> /conent/de --> type3, due to sling:resourceSuperType property
