[jira] [Commented] (SLING-3397) Provide a way for path operations

["Carsten Ziegeler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3397?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13903345#comment-13903345 ] 

Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-3397:
-----------------------------------------

I suggest an API consisting of an Utility class with these methods:

/**
 * Return the absolute path for the merged resource
 */
String getMergedResourcePath(String relativePath)

/**
 * Returns a merged resource if the provided resource is from one of the search paths
 */
Resource getMergedResource(Resource rsrc)

boolean isMergedResource(Resource rsrc)

>
> With the resource merger we have a new resource provider which is mounted somewhere in the resource tree.
> While the resource resolver has a method to get the search path, there is no way to find out, the mnt point for the resource merger.
> In addition, in some cases you already have a resource from within a search path and you want to access the merged resource
