Justin Edelson commented on SLING-1778:
---------------------------------------
What I'm thinking is let's say...
Node /b/bar has property text1="one"
Node /b/baz has property text2="three"
Node /a/foo has property text="two"
Node /a/foo also has
sling:overlayPath = [/b/bar, /b/baz]
/a/foo.json will return
{
'text' : 'two',
'text1' : 'one',
'text2' : 'three',
'sling:overlayPath' : ['/b/bar', '/b/baz']
}

>
> 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
