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
