The data you have listed above can be posted with an HTML form like this: <form method="post" action="/"> <input type="text" name="/foo/a/a" value="1" /> <input type="text" name="/foo/a/b" value="2" /> <input type="text" name="/foo/b/alfa" value="1" /> <input type="text" name="/foo/b/test" value="2" /> <input type="text" name="/foo/c/name" value="Simon" /> <input type="text" name="/foo/c/b" value="2" /> <button type="submit">Submit</button> </form> Notice how the "name" attribute of the input elements are in fact paths to properties. Submitting that form to the SlingPostServlet should result in these nodes: /foo/a, with properties a=1 and b=2 /foo/b, with properties alfa=1 and test=2 /foo/c, with properties name=Simon and b=2 -- Vidar S.
