Update: I have restlet now providing the data through a servlet that is
mounted at one point in the same uri space, still would be keen to join
the spaces.

Hi,
I am presently trying to facilitate two parts of our software platform
to work well together. One of these is a REST based interface for
data management to provision customers / users etc. which has been
developed using Restlet and Hibernate (and has been developed as OSGi
bundles). And the other is our portal which is being developed using
sling to provide the pages that make up the portal as well as serving
up the javascript administration interface (using ExtJS).
Through the admin interface a logged in user can manage data through
ajax rest based calls. In order for these calls to work the rest
admin api needs to be served up within the same uri space as the rest
of the portal / admin interface.
I have had a look into the ResourceProvider interface and how this
works, and other than getting quite confused along the way my
understanding is that this is only for accessing data from other
sources (not supporting POST/PUT/DELETE?). I may be wrong here, not
sure.
So really my question is what would be a good way of having the two
uri spaces visible as one?
I was thinking that it may be that I should just mount the Restlet
servlet on certain root uri's, which will override sling... but then
this data would not be accessible through sling at all. This may be a
good short term solution (and one that it would be good to be able to
know how to do?).
Preferably I would like all of the data to be visible directly within
sling.
Thanks in advance.
