Sling Application Development

[Padraic Hannon <pi...@wasabicowboy.com>]

So I've worked on various aspects of sling and written a component  
here and there, however, I'd like to work on a more complete example  
(perhaps this would go towards some of the documentation we have said  
is needed) and am stumbling. So far we have a pretty strong link  
between Content and a Component (at least expressed by the  
documentation). What I'd like to look at is reusing content across  
multiple components and have that content mapped to the correct object  
model. I am going to start building a sample over the next few days  
and will document the architecture, however, I wanted to check with  
everyone to see if there where any pre-existing ideas on what the best  
pattern for this would be.

I'll put something in the whiteboard area. Basically, I wanted to make  
a sample app that used some of the new concepts and also demonstrated  
how resources can be shared (along with their ocm mappings) across  
multiple bundles since I think this may be a common use case.

Those interfaces are gone, replaced (in a different way) by Resource
and Servlet.

I think http://incubator.apache.org/sling/site/request-processing.html
is very much out of date, do we want to remove it temporarily, or at
least add a big warning at the top?

Not sure if I understand the "mapped to the correct object model"
part, but I'll be looking forward to your sample! Commit early, commit
often! (maybe to
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sling/whiteboard/ first)
