With adding > {{Object getModelFromResource(...)}} and {{getModelFromRequest(...)}} this > paradigm has been broken. Just looking at the API, what is the purpose of > that methods? I agree that it makes much sense to have a binding between the > resourceType of {{Resource}} and maybe even {{SlingHttpServletRequest}} and a > model, but this resulting into an ordinary object from API perspective makes > it kind of pointless. > I propose: > * mark them as deprecated as already done in SLING-6652 > * let them throw {{UnsupportedOperationException}} to prevent them being used > * remove them in the next major API release > * move the logic of "finding the nearest implementation by resourceType* to > {{ResourceTypeBasedResourcePicker}} > and for the exporter: > * if a {{@Model}} has an {{@Exporter}} implicitly registered it with the > {{implType}} as {{adapterType}}, if not already done > * use the {{implType}} in the {{ExporterServlet}} to adapt from request or > {{Resource}} to the model object -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
