[jira] Commented: (SLING-491) Allow relative resource type overrides in include tag

["Felix Meschberger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-491?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12601111#action_12601111 ] 

Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-491:
-----------------------------------------

A simple workaround would of course be :

    <sling:include resourceType=<%= resource.getResourceType + "/content" %> />

As resource types are basically strings only later used as path components I would also not use this mechanism. If it would be a broader request to have synthactic sugar for this case, I would imagine one of these approaches:

    <sling:include resourceType="+/content" %> />

or

    <sling:include resourceTypeAppend="/content" />

The first case has the "+" sign to indicate to append the resource type value to the resource type of the request resource. The second one explicitly sets a suffix for the request resource type similar to the "addSelectors" attribute.

More elaborate stuff can still be done by some minimal coding, such as ../ support:

    <%
    String type = resource.getResourceType() + "../../sample";
    type = ResourceUtil.normalize(type);
    %>
    <sling:include resourceType="<%= type %>" />

> it would be cool, if you can specify a relative resource type in a sling include, eg:
> <sling:include resourceType="./content" />
> assuming resource.getResourceType() == "/foo/bar" the override would be "/foo/bar/content" .
