Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-848:
----------------------------------------
I personally think it is very unlike that one really has a node in the
repository which contains both a semicolon and an equals sign..this sounds like
a really terrible name to me. Looking at the quoted example, this really looks
like a test string. So I'm wondering how likely this is to happen in real world.
A new method just for the use case to pass in the version info has been
discarded before and as you note, adding it now, doesn't really help as it will
break current usage.
I was thinking about your second solution as well, not sure if it is a good
idea.
But before we continue, can someone verify, that using a semicolon and equals
sign in a url really works?

> Key: SLING-848
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-848
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API, JCR, ResourceResolver
> Affects Versions: JCR Resource 2.0.2
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Assignee: Tomek Rękawek
> Fix For: JCR Resource 2.5.0, API 2.9.0, Resource Resolver 1.2.0
>
> Attachments: SLING-848-metadata.patch
>
>
> Getting versioned content should be support thorough uri path parameters,
> like /something/hello;v=1.1
> For jcr based resources the value of the version should either point to a
> version name or label.
> In order to not change our existing apis, we introduce a new utility method
> which removes all uri path parameters
> and returns a map of these. Every resource provider could use this utility
> method and then decide to act on these
> parameters.
> If a requested version does not exists, a 404 is returned.
> If the requested node does not directly point to a versionable node, the
> algorithm checks the parent hierarchy until a versionable node is found, and
> tries to get the version of this node and then goes down the path again. If
> the versionable node does not have the requested version or the child, a 404
> is returned.
