Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-11504:
------------------------------------------
I think the proposed change is maybe fixing exactly that issue, but I'm not
convinced that it is the right fix. To me, it sounds like there is the wish
that bundled resources exactly behave like JCR resources, and that change does
not provide this.
> BundleResource fallback sling:resourceType should be consistent with
> JcrNodeResource

> *Background:*
> We work on Sling based CMS -
> [https://www.websight.io|https://www.websight.io/] . One of our current goals
> is to move /apps and /libs folders into bundle resources and get rid of JCR
> based sling scripting and configurations (JCR Installer). This is an
> alternative approach to CompositeNodeStore usage in order to support
> containerized environments, blue-green deployments, and separation of code,
> configuration, and data.
> To achieve this, we move components (and dialogs) definitions from JCR into
> bundles and make them work with the same APIs (like Sling Resource Merger).
>
> *The problem:*
> JcrNodeResource and BundleResource use different mechanisms for calculating
> fallback sling:resourceType
> * In JCR, Resource.getResourceType method is used to calculate resourceType
> if no explicit property is found in the repository. See
> [https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-resource/blob/72c105d67adc58ef1f4d43de78815fdcebb290b5/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/resource/internal/helper/jcr/JcrItemResource.java#L120]]
> * In Bundles, sling:resourceType is always set in the constructor and later
> overwritten by the JSON properties, if available. See:
> |[https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-bundleresource-impl/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/bundleresource/impl/BundleResource.java#L91]
> It results in a different contract, in particular, it’s impossible to declare
> BundleResource with no sling:resorurceType property. The result can be
> observed in the following Groovy Script execution, where both nodes have no
> sling:resourceTypes declared:

> Incompatible BundleResource and JCRNodeResource contracts requires
> workarounds in multiple APIs (our internal APIs / SlingResource Merger API)
> or to do workarounds at the data level.
>
> *Proposed solution:*
> I can reimplement BundleResource, so that sling:resourceType is calculated in
> the getter. This will result in a valid getResourceType() method contract
> with the possibility of having null sling:resourceType resource property.
