Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-2779:
-----------------------------------------
I agree, I was rather focusing on the API for now . I think a CompositeValueMap
which combines two value maps is a nice thing. However it really should behave
like a value map and implement all the methods properly. [~gknob] can you
please update your patch?

> I already noticed several times it would be useful to be able to specify a
> default properties for a resource:
> * if the resource itself contains the property, it will override the default
> one.
> * but if it doesn't, the default value is used.
> This could be done either via:
> * specifying a {{sling:defaults}} property on the resource, which contains
> the path to the resource which properties will be used by default.
> * providing a default map of properties
> Attaching a patch for review.
> For testing purpose, I put it under {{org.apache.sling.defaults}}, but I
> imagine it could go to {{org.apache.sling.api.resource}}.
