Flexible adaptable not resulting in instantiation of correct model

[Liam C]

Hello everyone,

In SLING-6504 (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6504),
functionality was added to allow adapting a resource that is different
to the underlying page resource. Feike Visser's example
(https://github.com/heervisscher/htl-examples/commit/93666b5eebdeb36c25adf2e310f55049ec3767ce)
suggests that it is possible and simple, but I haven't managed to
succesfully implement it. In my experience so far, the adaptable is
ignored.

If I use the following code in my Sling Model:

@Self
Resource adaptable;
public Resource getAdaptableSelf()
{
    return adaptable;
}

...it reveals that the adaptable that reaches the model is null.

I wondered if this might have to do with the fact that the code in
SLING-6504 modified the JavaUseProvider, but the
SlingModelsUseProvider handles the instantiation before the
JavaUseProvider can be reached.

Can anyone confirm whether this option is still working in Sling 11?

Thanks,

Liam
