Radu Cotescu commented on SLING-12300:
--------------------------------------
[~joerghoh], how can your two asserts be true at the same time for a
referenceable node?! A JCR node's identifier is its path or, if it has the
{{mix:referenceable}} applied, its {{jcr:uuid}} property, like mentioned in the
issue's description.
In the PR I have provided some tests that show the path behaviour, namely the
path will always be the node's path, regardless of how the resource was
retrieved.
While writing a new Resource Provider might provide better isolation, it would
duplicate everything the JCR Provider does right now and it wouldn't provide
much value compared to the current solution. Accessing a resource like
{{http://localhost:8080/jcr:id/<uuid>.json}} will be identical to
{{http://localhost:8080/<path>.json}}.
> Provide a way to retrieve a JCR backed resource by its node identifier

> Since all {{javax.jcr.Nodes}} have an identifier [0], a useful feature would
> be {{Resource}} retrieval by node id, which could be its {{jcr:uuid}}
> property for referenceable nodes or the path. In systems that would like to
> use UUID addressing, this would reduce the need for executing JCR queries for
> resource retrieval and would avoid double-reads via the JCR and then Sling
> API to obtain the resource.
> In order to provide a unified behaviour, paths starting with the {{/jcr:id/}}
> prefix should use the resource retrieval by node identifier.
