[jira] Created: (SLING-605) Extend RequestDispatcherOptions support for requests without extension

Extend RequestDispatcherOptions support for requests without extension
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-605
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Engine
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger


Consider a request without a request extension -- e.g. http://host/some/content.pdf where the exact resource /some/content.pdf is being handled. When handling such requests and including other content the RequestDispatchOptions actually do not work because those are explicitly ignored in case the request extension is null.

The reason for this is, that (1) it is not possible to replace the request extension on included requests and (2) selectors are only possible if there is an extension.

The current implementation should be enhanced to set the request extension for inclusions should the current request extension be null.

Alternatively we might completely loosen the restriction placed on extensions (see (1) above) and allow to replace the request extension just like it is possible to replace the selectors.

[jira] Closed: (SLING-605) Extend RequestDispatcherOptions support for requests without extension

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee: Felix Meschberger

This  needs nothing to change. Because you can easily add extensions and replace selectors also by changing the inclusion path.

So consider you are handling request "/sample/file.pdf" with resource "/sample/file.pdf". To include handling for a selector, say "print.a4", you may do:

    <sling:include path="${resource.path}.print.a4.pdf" />

This will resolve the string "/sample/file.pdf.print.a4.pdf" (albeit looking a bit strange) into the resource /sample/file.pdf, with selectors [ "print", "a4"] and extension "pdf".
