Maybe we should tackle this in steps. From what I heard so far, it seems we can agree on:
a) forget about Resource#getResourceSuperType. This method is ignored from now on (and deprecated) How about having a dedicated service, like: d) we create a service which has three methods // get the super type String getResourceSuperType(ResourceResolver resolver, String resourceType); // get an ordered list of all super types List<String> getResourceSuperTypes(ResourceResolver resolver, String resourceType) // check if resourceType is checkResourceType (either directly or one of the parents boolean isResourceType(ResourceResolver resolver, String resourceType, String checkResourceType) Regards Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler Adobe Research Switzerland cziege...@apache.org
