Re: alias or reference?

Hi Sam

Regarding SLING-1778: it's not feasible to leverage the SLING-1778 features
for all aspects within CQ5, as some of the CQ5 features directly access the
JCR API and thus the ResourceProvider magic happening in Sling is not
effective. This is especially true for page nodes.

If the nodes you're using are fully controlled by your application, you can
try building the symlinks bundle from the SLING-1778 patch and install it.
It's self-contained and IIRC there are no dependency issues in CQ5.3. So no
patching or updating of bundles delivered with CQ should be required. Only
the symlinks bundle would then be at your responsibility.

Regards
Julian

 Ah, Thank you. I see.

 I hope sling:alias could be String[]. Even if I set sling:alias =
 {png, gif, tiff}.. only the first entry, png, is used.

 For example,
 /some/path/jpeg (sling:alias = {png, gif, tiff})

 then,
 GET /some/path/jpeg.json  == good
 GET /some/path/png.json  == good
 GET /some/path/gif.json == bad
 GET /some/path/tiff.json== bad

 I ended up writing /etc/map config to redirect stuff to
 /some/path/jpeg (according to
 http://sling.apache.org/site/mappings-for-resource-resolution.html)

 I tried mix:shareable .. it was a nightmare since I did not back up
 the node before setting mixin.. And it's impossible to remove
 mix:shareable mixin :P

 SLING-1778 looks promising. I can't apply patches. I'm using Day CQ
 and have to wait until they apply the patch to the sling they ship
 with.

 Thanks.

  sling:alias only works within the same path segment, i.e. if

  get the resource at /some/path/jpeg.
 
  JCR 2 Shareable Nodes might be a solution for you. Or take a look at

Re: alias or reference?

2010-11-05 Thread Justin Edelson 
Was there some reason that shareable nodes didn't work? Or are you simply
opposed to them because mix:shareable can't be removed?

Multi-valued sling:alias support was added in SLING-1332 and will be in
the next release of the JCR Resource bundle.

Re: alias or reference?

2010-11-05 Thread sam lee 
I made a node, foo, mix:sharable. Copied foo to bar. I did NOT use
workspace.clone() as the spec said.
This CMS that I'm using comes with a gui repo browser. And, I could
not find .clone() functionality.

So, editing foo did not change bar. :P

I was too lazy to write up a Java program to clone the nodes.

In the end, I have:
/some/path/to/jpeg
/some/path/to/png
/some/path/to/gif
...

I just did not want to create png, gif... and other nodes. But it
seems to be inevitable.
(And, sling:alias won't do good even if it supported String[]
because.. it's complicated :)
Actually, something is callling
http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/cq/current/javadoc/com/day/cq/commons/servlets/OverlayServlet.html
 and it does not consider sling:alias.

I mean.. actual requests are like:
GET /some/path/to/formitems.overlay.json/image/png.json

And, that OverlayServlet seems to test existance of
/some/path/to/image/png/formitems .. and if that does not exist, it
does some other things.

And, setting /some/path/to/image/j...@sling:alias=png  is not useful
when request is:
GET /some/path/to/image/png/formitems

(sling:alias seems to only work for basenames, or right most things.
GET /some/path/to/image/png is good. GET
/some/path/to/image/png/some/other/stuff   does not get resolved to
GET /some/path/to/image/JPEG/some/other/stuff)

I did not formulate my initial question well enough. I misled you. I'm sorry.

Anyway,  the problem is solved with /etc/map  redirects. :P

Thanks.
