--------------------------------------------
Hi [~cziegeler], thanks for looking into this.
JcrItemResourceFactory#getItemOrNull has for an argument absolute path, so no
way of going up in the tree, starting from the current node.
Code in the PR is using Item#getParent(), directly in JcrResourceProvider. If
exception is thrown (no parent node, access rights missing, or other error),
null will be
[returned|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/org.apache.sling.jcr.resource-3.0.22/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/helper/jcr/JcrResourceProvider.java#L372-L373].
Alternatively, new method can be introduced in JcrItemResourceFactory, that can
be used in JcrResourceProvider.
{code:java}
Item getParentItem(Item childItem) {
try {
return childItem.getParent();
} catch (ItemNotFoundException e) {
return null;
} catch (RepositoryException e) {
log.error("Error when trying to access parent item.", e);
return null;
}
}{code}
WDYT?

> That further means retrieved subtree can be traversed in memory, without the
> need to communicate with the JCR repository storage.
> (!)That is particularly important when remote (cloud) storage is used for
> repository in JCR implementation, and tree traversal can be done without
> doing additional network roundtrips.

> Node b = a.getNode("b");
> Node c = a.getNode("c");

> Also going from child to parent, is resolved in memory as well (proposal
