Hi,
Each ResourceProvider is responsible for setting up resources
themselves, including setting the resource type. For example the
BundleResourceProvider sets the resource type to nt:file or nt:folder
depending on whether the resource is a file or folder.
The JcrResourceProvider now uses the ResourceTypeProvider service to
enhance its resource type resolution:
(1) check sling:resourceType property
(2) check ResourceTypeProvider services
(3) take primary node type
Your (remaining) problem probably is the resource type of non-existing
resources which is currently hard coded to sling:nonexisting and it is
also defined in the API that a non existing resource has the
sling:nonexisting resource type.
It might be conceivable though to set the resourceSuperType of such
non-existing resources to something configurable. To do this I would
suggest to introduce a new service interface, which would be called when
the ResourceResolver is about to create the NonExistingResource.
Regards
Felix
