             Summary: Provide a way to get the search paths without login into a resource resolver
                 Key: SLING-7537
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-7537
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: API, ResourceResolver
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
            Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: Resource Resolver 1.5.38, API 2.16.6


Right now, the only possible way to get the configured search paths for resource resolving is to actually create a resource resolver (by logging in using a service user). Then the search paths array can be get from the resolver and the resolver can be closed. This is pretty expensive for just getting a setting.

In theory, each resolver could have different search paths; in reality we never went down this road and I think in fact we can't. There is a lot of code out there, assuming that each resolver has the same search paths; the resource change listener act in exactly the same way.

Therefore I suggest we simply add the search paths either as a service registration property of the resource resolver factory or as a new method. This makes getting this setting very easy.
