Stefan Seifert commented on SLING-5837:
---------------------------------------
really important pro or contra is only point #1 - once we make an release with
glob support we never can change it to regex without breaking backward
compatibility.
the other two points could be optimized in later releases as well.
perhaps we should open a short discussion on the mailing list about #1
> Allow ResourceChangeListeners to define glob patterns for resource matching

> While the previous way to interact with Resource change events through
> registering {{EventHandler}} sevices allowed defining glob patterns for
> matching the watched paths, the current state of the
> {{org.apache.sling.api.resource.observation.ResourceChangeListener}} only
> allows subscribing to events for concrete paths.
> In order to allow for the same filtering flexibility,
> {{ResourceChangeListener}} should also accept glob patterns for its
> {{resource.paths}} configuration property.
