Hi Bart

Perhaps this would be a good one for someone from the ASF to provide more 
details.

The fact calling resourceResolver.getResource(path); ends up in your resource 
provider is coincidental in this context, for it could be any other resource 
provider at runtime. The rule basically is that the resource and it's meta data 
must be new when returned by your provider.

Kind regards,
Olaf

Hi Olaf,

I'd like to dive into your last comment some further. "You can never re-provide 
a resource resolved by a different resource provider". In my case, I don't 
think I'm re-providing, I'm just providing - if anything, I'm delegating to the 
resource resolving mechanism which ends up at my ResourceProvider. So I'm not 
ending up at a different resource provider at this point, but actually the same 
resource provider.

It's still not entirely clear to me conceptually speaking why this is a bad 
practise.

Best regards

Hi Bart,

I put them right in the code, where they are probably hard to spot :-)

The essential one should be the one next to the place where you add the
resource to the list of resource in ResourceProvider#listChildren. Updated
version:

You can never re-provide a resource resolved by a different resource
provider: A resource has resource meta-data containing, amongst others, the
resolution path. Also, a resource is always tied to its resource resolver
via resource#getResourceProvider(). Thus, you must create a new (Synthetic)
resource here and add it to the list. For instance, you could extend
SyntheticResource to create your own resource wrapper, and delegate
Resource#adaptTo to your wrapped resource.

Olaf

Hi,

While trying to implement a POC and I ran into a strange error, and I hope
you guys can help identify whether this is a bug, or if I'm just doing
something wrong.

I'm playing around with custom resource providers to pull external data into
sling. I don't do anything crazy in there (yet), but it's just as a poc. I
want to combine it with custom resource implementations as well.

My resource provider is registered on path "/content/data" and basically
handles anything on this path. Currently I'm just building a virtual data
structure. Inside this virtual structure some paths will have a very
specific ResourceProvider implementation tied to said path which retrieve
the resource info from an external system when calling listChildren. So for
example "/content/data/2001/external/app" could have a more specific
resource provider registered here (which should work based on provider
priority). Unfortunately, I can't seem to get part 1 (building the virtual
structure) working without some hacks.

*My resource provider implementation looks like this:*

@Override
public Resource getResource(@Nonnull final ResolveContext resolveContext,
@Nonnull final String path, @Nonnull final ResourceContext resourceContext,
final Resource parent) { return new
SyntheticResource(resolveContext.getResourceResolver(),
path, SyntheticResource.RESOURCE_TYPE_NON_EXISTING);
}

*My analysis so far:*

Because I use resourceResolver.getResource() inside the listChildren method of 
my custom resource provider, I pass through some internal resolving which do 
some decorating on the resource and the iterators. This in itself is not a 
problem, but one of those decorators (the
ResourceDecoratorTracker) locks the ResourceMedatadata object - which is a 
problem as other decorators like ResourceIteratorDecorator try to update data 
(in this case it tries to set/update the resolutionPath of the fetched 
resource's ResourceMetadata to the path of said resource during the execution 
of 'next()'  - which seems a tad odd). And here we end up trying to modify a
