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.
