Justin Edelson edited comment on SLING-5739 at 5/20/16 2:43 PM: ---------------------------------------------------------------- [~henzlerg] this is actually about injecting a property of the child resource, not the child resource itself. For example, given the content structure: {code} - foo (nt:unstructured) - jcr:content (nt:unstructured) + title (String) = "My Title" {code} If you want to adapt the node `foo` and have the `title` property injected. Currently, to do this, you have to inject the `jcr:content` resource's ValueMap and then manually extract the property which is, IMHO, not as elegant and intuitive as using the `@Via` annotation to select the resource. was (Author: justinedelson): [~henzlerg] this is actually about injecting a property of the child resource, not the child resource itself.
