Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-8271: ----------------------------------------- I don't think we need to deprecate the existing one. You could just create an AbstractStoppableResourceVisitor (or maybe different name) next to it > Improve AbstractResourceVisitor to allow to stop visiting child resources > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SLING-8271 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8271 > Project: Sling > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: API > Affects Versions: API 2.20.0 > Reporter: Konrad Windszus > Assignee: Konrad Windszus > Priority: Major > Fix For: API 2.20.2 > > Time Spent: 20m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Currently the AbstractResourceVisitor > (https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-api/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/api/resource/AbstractResourceVisitor.java) > completely decouples the {{visit}} method from the actual resource > traversal. That means it is currently rather hard to programmatically add a > break condition which should lead to no further descending into child > resources. > I propose to extend {{AbstractResourceVisitor}} by an additional visit method > which is supposed to return a boolean value. Only if {{true}} is returned it > will further descend into the children of the current resource. The default > implementation should just return {{true}} to make this change backwards > compatible. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
