Carsten found it. Thanks for that. The conversion happens in https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-api/blob/9285f1baca058fc3ae7c68be09cd2a70ef918d5d/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/api/resource/ResourceUtil.java#L482 called from https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-servlets-resolver/blob/0c268c985b55bbae2a4583b830c0ecfa5699c937/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/servlets/resolver/internal/helper/LocationCollector.java#L135. So the logic described in https://sling.apache.org/documentation/the-sling-engine/resources.html#resource-types with converting “:" to “/“ is - only used within the servlet resolver - is resource provider agnostic
I will try come up with a fix to the documentation. Konrad > On 25. Sep 2025, at 12:10, Konrad Windszus <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ping, anyone has any pointers? > Thanks, > Konrad > >> On 23.
