Querying Sling

[Phil Rice <ph...@googlemail.com>]

My current goal is produce two web pages. The first is the query
template. "I want to find all data items that look like <this>". The
second is a listing of the things that I have found.

There is a nice section in the Sling documentation describing how to
query: http://sling.apache.org/site/resources.html#Resources-QueryingResources.
This however all seems to be "how to do it from Java". From this I can
probably write my own JSP/Servlet to pass the query through to the
ResourceResolver.

However before I dive into this, I thought it best to ask: "what is
the usual way that you would find resources over the RESTful
interface". I have explored the Wiki, looked at the tutorials, and
spent a little while with google, and not found many hits (although I
did find quite a lot about the traditional Apache Sling...)

The JsonQueryServlet is your friend, there's a nice tutorial here:

http://in-the-sling.blogspot.com/2008/09/how-to-use-json-query-servlet.html

and the test cases at [1] should help as well.
