In our project, we usually do that kind of stuff in a .esp script.
We get the nodes we need to change with an XPath query, and iterate
over the result, doing the changes we need to do on each node.
E.g., your "Remove the property myprop for resourceType
'MyOtherContentType'" example:
<%
var nodes = resource.resourceResolver.findResources(str,
"/jcr:root//*...@sling:resourceType='MyOtherContentType']");
for each (node in nodes) {
node.setProperty("myprop", null);
}
%>
That works well for us - but if you have a simpler solution, that
would certainly be interesting.
