Summary: Support OSGi converter in adaptTo
Key: SLING-7800
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7800
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: API
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
Attachments: converter-patch.txt
The OSGi Converter
(https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.converter.html) is a
utility for converting an object into anything.
In the context of Sling resources it might be very handy to use the converter
to convert a resource (or the properties of a resource) into a data model
(interface).
Therefore we could think about supporting the Converter directly out of the box
in adaptTo as all implementations inherit from the SlingAdaptable class.
In order to get the properties of something, an adaptTo Map.class could be used.
Attached is a simple patch demonstration this.
This could be further improved, like leveraging the Resource#getValueMap method
etc.
