Sling mapping & alias hostnames

[Jörg Hoh <jh...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I have multiple domains which should share the same sling mappings, let's
say it's our production system and the QA system. For both I want to have
the very same settings, but we don't want to maintain it twice. Is there a
way to have a structure via

/etc/map/http/www.ourdomain.com/...

and

/etc/map/http/www.anotherdomain.com/

being a kind of alias, which is internally then linked to /etc/map/http/
www.ourdomain.com/ and for which all the mappings specified there are
applied automatically? Any hint, if this is possible?

The documentation on
http://sling.apache.org/site/mappings-for-resource-resolution.html does not
mention such a feature. I am also not that familiar with the code, at least
I haven't found it mentioned explicitly there.

kind regards,
Jörg

Hi,

We have support for a sling:match property in any of the mapping definition nodes. This property may bei a plain string or a regular expression. The problem is that a regular expression has some drawbacks when it comes to create the mapping for the ResourceResolver.map call.

I could imagine, that supporting multiple values for the sling:match property would solve your problem while still maintaining the ability to easily generate the mappings for ResourceResolver.map.

Currently the sling:match property is single-valued, so this would be an enhancement which you might want to request with an issue...

Regards
Felix
