Amit Gupta commented on SLING-2853: ----------------------------------- > If you look at the code, it's actually simpler. The current code already > relies on the "pathorder" property for the order, which needs to keep all > references anyway for it to work. code is simpler, but if you look at it will eventually add inconsistencies. such that getEntries returns a iterator over resources which represent entries in collection. So, for simple entries, I actually can not return the entries. That is the reason why I didn't try to do that optimization. > Add ResourceCollection to Sling > ------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-2853 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2853 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: API > Affects Versions: API 2.0.2 > Reporter: Amit Gupta > Priority: Minor > Attachments: collection.zip, resourcecollection.zip > > > Creating a collection of resources has been a use case for a while and there > has been no inherent support in SLING for the same. > This proposal is to add a ResourceCollection interface and implementation > that allows creation of collection of resources. > Collection is a simple list of members, where each member contains path of > resource it refers to. In future, we might need to store additional > information with the member, hence following structure is proposed > N: resourceCollection (nt:unstructured) > + P: sling:resourceType > + N : members (nt:unstructured) > + N: member_res1 > nt:unstructured > + P: path > string, reference to actual resource > + N: member_res2 > nt:unstructured > + P: path > string, reference to actual resource -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
