[jira] [Commented] (SLING-2782) Try to use sling:resourceType as a node type for node creation

["Bertrand Delacretaz (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2782?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13598689#comment-13598689 ] 

Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-2782:
--------------------------------------------

AFAICS this is not backwards compatible, as currently the node type is set by the repository if not specified.

The following content structure looks fairly natural to me:

  myPage (nodetype app:page)
    jcr:content (nodetype nt:unstructured, resourceType app/page)

but here you might create the jcr:content node with nodetype app:page which is not what you want

> Right now, creating resources through the resource API (ResourceResolver#create) still requires some knowledge about the underlying storage especially in the case of JCR - in many cases you need to provide the primary node type.
> We could relax this and use the sling:resourceType as the node - but only if jcr:primaryType is not specified and sling:resourceType contains a valid node type name.
> This is in line with the implementation of the resource type handling for jcr resources: if the node does not have a sling:resourceType, the node type is returned.
> In addition, we defined that e.g. for files all resource providers should return nt:file as the resource type and nt:folder for folders. So making this work the other way round, fits into this.
