Specific property types in JSON initial-content files
Can someone refresh my memory how to specify property types in a JSON file used in a Bundle's initial-content?
I could swear i remember reading it on the Sling site, but can't find it again -- i swear that sites randomizes its content every few days just so I can't find anything on it :)
I tried using the properties key as seen here: http://sling.apache.org/site/content-loading-jcrcontentloader.html
"properties": {
"foo": {
"value": 1,
"type": "Long"
}
}
However that just creates
.../node/properties/foo.value = [String] 1
.../node/properties/foo.type = [String] Long
As I would expect.
Thanks

Looking at JsonReader source code it appears that intent of the
implementation was to have separate nodes and properties entries from JSON
tree. However implementation does not follow that intent.
So possibly a bug wrt mismatch between documentation and implementation.

Chetan,
Thanks - this is perfect - I must be thinking thinking of something else.
Do you happen to know off the top of your head if the jcrcontent
loader is used for JSON initial-content? Just curious as to what the
documentation I found on the Sling site is in referenced to (using the
"properties" and "nodes" keys).

Hi David,
Looking at the JsonReader implementation [1] getType
protected int getType(String name, Object object) {
if (object instanceof Double || object instanceof Float) {
return PropertyType.DOUBLE;
} else if (object instanceof Number) {
return PropertyType.LONG;
} else if (object instanceof Boolean) {
return PropertyType.BOOLEAN;
} else if (object instanceof String) {
if (name.startsWith(REFERENCE)) return PropertyType.REFERENCE;
if (name.startsWith(PATH)) return PropertyType.PATH;
if (name.startsWith(NAME)) return PropertyType.NAME;
if (name.startsWith(URI)) return PropertyType.URI;
if (jsonDate.matcher((String) object).matches()) return
PropertyType.DATE;
}
// fall back to default
return PropertyType.UNDEFINED;
}
It appears that type is inferred from the JSON representation itself. And
in some cases from propetyName prefixes. So keeping {"foo":1} should create
foo of type integer
