Dirk Rudolph updated SLING-11073: --------------------------------- Description: Consider the following Models {code} interface A { } interface B { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="generic") class AImpl implements A { @Self private B other; } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="generic") class BImpl implements B { } {code} If we want to extend this using the delegation pattern we could do {code} interface A1 extends A { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="specific") class A1Impl implements A1 { @Self @Via(type=ResourceSuperType.class) private A delegate; } {code} and additionally for B {code} interface B1 extends B { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="specific") class B1Impl implements B1 { @Self @Via(type=ResourceSuperType.class) private B delegate; } {code} This will inject {{BImpl}} into the instance of {{AImpl}} when adapting a request on a resource with resourceType="specific" even though there is a more specific implementation of it the would match the original resourceType (would be {{B1Impl}}). The reason is that the ResourceTypeBasedResourcePicker picks {{B1Impl}} based on the resourceType forced by the ResourceSuperTypeViaProvider. This behaviour may be desired in some cases but not in others. That's why I propose to introduce a OriginalResourceViaProvider which unwraps the changes made by the AbstractResourceTypeViaProvider. This can explicitly be specified to enable it. {code} class AImpl implements A { @Self @Via(type = OriginalResource.class) // undo any forced resourceTypes private B other; } {code} Which then would inject {{B1Impl}}, the one for the original "specific" resoruceType. was: Consider the following Models {code} interface A { } interface B { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="generic") class AImpl implements A { @Self private B other; } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="generic") class BImpl implements B { } {code} If we want to extend this using the delegation pattern we could do {code} interface A1 extends A { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="specific") class A1Impl implements A1 { @Self @Via(type=ResourceSuperType.class) private A delegate; } {code} and additionally for B {code} interface B1 extends B { } @Model(adaptables=SlingHttpServletRequest.class, resourceType="specific") class B1Impl implements B1 { @Self @Via(type=ResourceSuperType.class) private B delegate; } {code} This will inject {{BImpl}} into the instance of {{AImpl}} when adapting a request on a resource with resourceType="specific" even though there is a more specific implementation of it (would be {{B1Impl}}).
