ResourceProvider not invoked when provider root path is called with HTML extension

[Olaf Otto]

Hi all,

 

I have created a resource provider adding content as children into a tree of
existing JCR content, like this:

 

/content/child1  ß JCR content

/content/child1/child2 ß Provided by ResourceProvider

 

This works as expected: child2 is returned as a child of child1, and
invoking /content/child1/child2 yields the provided resource. However, when
calling /content/child1/child2.html, the resource provider is never asked
for a resource. Instead, the default get servlet returns a synthetic
resource, causing a redirect to /content/child1/child2.html/, resulting in a
404. Using a different extension works – when I call
/content/child1/child2.json, the provider is called. Children of the root
path however work with a .html extension: A request to
/content/child1/child2/child3.html is mapped to the resource provider.

 

I have played with the resource provider’s properties, trying both
/content/child1/child2 and /content/child1/child2/ as root and setting owns
root to true. This had no effect - the provider is only called if
/content/child1/child2.html is added as a root path. This, however, is not
an acceptable solution as child1 features both child2 and child2.html as
children afterwards.

 

In summary, this looks like a bug to me – am I right or am I missing a piece
of the puzzle?

 

Kind regards,

Olaf
