Symlinks -------- Key: SLING-1778 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1778 Project: Sling Issue Type: New Feature Reporter: Julian Sedding Attachments: symlinks.patch
I have implemented a ResourceProvider, which allows to create symlink nodes in the JCR repository. A symlink node has a sling:symlinkTarget property, which should contain a valid JCR path. JCR content from the sling:symlinkTarget path is then exposed below the symlink node. There is a mixin node type, sling:Symlink with a mandatory property sling:symlinkTarget and an optional property sling:overlayable. Additionally, there is a convenience node type, sling:SymlinkResource, which extends from sling:symlinkTarget and nt:unstructured. ResourceProvider instances are registered for existing symlinks when the bundle is started. Modifications are taken care of via JCR observation. To get started: * apply the attached patch to a trunk checkout * build and install the bundle * create a symlink node, pointing to some existing content * access the symlink node e.g. via a browser -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
