Hi Bertrand
Thanks for pointing to the Planet resource provider as it clarifies quite a
few things. I am almost there but still missing a few pieces.
I have setup properties on my custom resource using the value map. And I am
trying to rely on the default JSON renderer servlet to render my custom
resource. So for this, I have set the RESOURCE_TYPE of my resource to
'sling/servlet/default' . This setting is working fine as the
ServletResolver is resolving the DefaultGetServlet for rendering this
resource.
But the problem that I am facing is that the DefaultGetServlet expects a
'selector' to choose the correct rendering servlet. I am accessing my
resource as /path/to/my/resource.json but this is not setting the selector
to 'json' . I tried to debug this a bit and found that selectors are
figured out in SlingRequestPathInfo which uses the resource's
'resolutionPathInfo' property to find out the selector. For my custom
resource, resolutionPathInfo is always an empty sting and hence no selector
is chosen for it. I tried setting resolutionPathInfo on my custom resource
through the metadata.setResolutionPathInfo. But its not getting carried
over all the way through to the DefaultGetServlet. On debugging, I found
that its overwritten in ResourceResolver.resolveInternal as below:
// SLING-627: set the part cut off from the uriPath as
// sling.resolutionPathInfo property such that
// uriPath = curPath + sling.resolutionPathInfo
if (resource != null) {
final String rpi = absPath.substring(curPath.length());
resource.getResourceMetadata().setResolutionPath(absPath.substring(0,
curPath.length()));
resource.getResourceMetadata().setResolutionPathInfo(rpi);
logger.debug("resolveInternal: Found resource {} with path info
{} for {}", new Object[] { resource, rpi, absPath });
}
Hopefully I am able to explain the problem to you correctly. I am not sure
what am I missing here. Thanks for your patience. Please guide.
