Hi everyone, comming back to that case. As it turned out the resourceProvider was actually the only feasible solution since merging the valueMap was not sufficient but I found cases where I had to mount in substructures (via synthetic resources).
Now I'm facing a follow up issue with CRUD support of this. Reading is no issue anymore but as soon as I write I would need to always delegate this to the lower ResourceProvider. Due to [0] I face the first issue since my RP does return a Syntethic Resource in the original location because it yet doesn't exist - it then fails because the check here is not checking if the colliding resource is a synthetic resource provided by my resourceProvider. Additionally the PostServlet is not bubbling through the resourceproviders to try to execude the CUD operations but failing because my RP is not a modifiableResourceProvider. On the other hand when I implement the modifyingResourceProvider Interface I see no option to delegate the delete since the lookup for deleteexecution does not iterate over the RPs but seems just to return the first one. Any idea how I could solve those two issues?
