HtmlRendererServlet with ValueMap

Hi

I am relying on the default get servlet for rendering my custom (non-JCR)
resource. I see that with the .html extension, the HtmlRendererServlet
comes into play and it tries to adapt the resource to either of Map, String
or String[]. Is there a specific reason for it to not try to adapt to
ValueMap as well? I ask this because I find resource being adapted to value
map quite frequently and if the HtmlRendererServlet could do that as well,
a custom resource's adaptation to value map would just suffice.

Thanks

Thanks Felix. Yes that's what I am doing.

Hi

Since ValueMap extends Map, you should be perfectly fine: just accept Map as well and return your ValueMap. Done. :-)
