[jira] Commented: (SLING-1137) Support hierarchical child node creation from SlingPostServlet

["Alexander Klimetschek (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1137?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12762760#action_12762760 ] 

Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-1137:
----------------------------------------------

You can create a hierarchy with a single post request, it's only the client that has to know how it should look like.

For example, a post to

/content/new/path/to/something

with jcr:primaryType=my:nodetype and other properties set, will create the path (assuming only /content exists) /content/new/path/to with nt:unstructured node as node type.

To define nodetypes and properties for the intermediary nodes, you can adjust the post to go to

/content

and set

new/jcr:primaryType = nt:folder
new/path/jcr:primaryType = nt:folder
etc.

If you are stuck with the post to the full path, you can also use absolute paths in the fields (AFAIK):

/content/new/jcr:primaryType = nt:folder

> The default node creation functionality on "/" terminated paths via the SlingPostServlet doesn't scale very well as it only supports creation of nodes immediately under the targeted path.  So, for example, when using this via a CQ form to capture form responses in the repository, a site can potentially have thousands of child nodes, leading to well known performance problems.
> I think it would be useful to offer an option for the servlet to save a hierarchy of nodes, perhaps via the common convention of using the first 4 characters of the would-be node id to create a 2 level hierarchy.
