Moving rewriter to contrib
Hi,
I've added a new bundle in our whiteboard: the rewriter.
The rewriter bundle allows to rewrite the output from Sling. It is
possible to configure a pipeline (based on SAX events) which processes
the whole output.
This pipeline can be used for various use cases, like checking the links
in the content, adding stuff, using xslt to generate different output etc.
I'm planning to move this from the whiteboard to the contrib section.
If noone objects, I'll do this in the next days.
WDYT?
Carsten

Sounds like a good plan to me.

I guess testing this in launchpad should be easier.

In principle I'm all for it, but
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/whiteboard/rewriter/src/test
returns a 404 ;-)
Can I haz tests? Or maybe a simple smoke-test-the-whole-thing test in
launchpad/testing is easier?

Yes, pipelines are configured in the repository. You can configure as
many as you want. The configured pipelines are tried to be matched
against the current request. One criteria is the content type of the
page, another one is the path (maybe we need to extend this for other
use cases).
So you can configure an own pipeline for all pages at /a/b/c which adds
header and footer through a transformer. This should be fairly easy.

Could it possibly be used to allow page decoration by configuration?
Eg. add a header / footer to all pages at url /a/b/c?
