Aha! Solved!!!! Here's my solution for posterity.
While Jersey would have been a preferred, more feature-rich solution, I just
couldn't get the OSGI-Jersey stuff working.
The solution:
- ResourceProvider listens for all requests to a particular path, and
returns a false "Resource" object, which doesn't actually exist in the JCR,
but it does have a resourceType
- A Servlet registers to render that resourceType.
Between these two, you've essentially got a Servlet that listens to a all
requests that fall under a particular Path :)
Registering a Servlet for a resourceType is pretty elementary, but for
posterity looking to get this ResourceProvider working in Sling 8, here's
how I did it. I expect there are better ways, but this is demonstrative:
/**
* Created by lancedolan on 1/27/17.
*/
@Component
@Service(value=ResourceProvider.class)
@Properties({
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.ROOTS, value = "service/image"),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.OWNS_ROOTS, value = "true")
})
public class ImageResourceProvider implements ResourceProvider {
// @Override
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, String
path) {
AbstractResource abstractResource;
abstractResource = new AbstractResource() {
@Override
public String getResourceType() {
return ImageTypeServlet.RESOURCE_TYPE;
}
@Override
public String getResourceSuperType() {
return null;
}
@Override
public String getPath() {
return path;
}
@Override
public ResourceResolver getResourceResolver() {
return resourceResolver;
}
@Override
public ResourceMetadata getResourceMetadata() {
return new ResourceMetadata();
}
};
return abstractResource;
}
// @Override
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest, String path) {
return getResource(resourceResolver , path);
}
// @Override
public Iterator<Resource> listChildren(Resource resource) {
return null;
}
}
And then you just create your own servlet, analogous to my ImageTypeServlet
which contains a static final String RESOURCE_TYPE
