SlingPostServlet
Greetings,
I was curious if anyone knows of a way to create an entire branch from a
single POST request to the SlingPostServlet? By entire branch, I mean maybe
two or three subnodes.
Respectfully,
John

Ok. That makes sense. Release early and often.
I was just trying to match the node structure that is in the CQ DAM under /var/dam/path/to/resource/jcr:content/metadata. I did find a workaround and it seems that I am no longer needing the metadata due to a change in the biz requirements.
Thank you very much for the help and feedback. Keep up the good work.
Respectfully,
John

Not yet... There's an open issue for this. It requires upgrading the
post servlet bundle to depend upon JCR 2 and I'd rather get a release
out before upgrading the dependency.
In this particular case, I wonder if using nt:unstructured for the
jcr:content node will cause problems with Jackrabbit. Could you use
nt:resource and add mixins to allow additional properties or child
nodes? Or add mixins to the nt:file node? I guess it depends upon what
you are trying to accomplish.

Is it possible to re-type a node once it has been created? Basically, I
have file uploading working properly, however, I need the jcr:content node
to be of type nt:unstructure, but its being set as nt:resource. I sent a
subsequent request to change the type, but it's not responding to it.

Not quite - JSON gets posted as a form parameter. See
http://sling.apache.org/site/manipulating-content-the-slingpostservlet-servletspost.html#ManipulatingContent-TheSlingPostServlet%2528servlets.post%2529-ImportingContentStructures
You can also do something like this:
<form method="POST" action="/content/page/first"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="text" name="title" />
<input type="text" name="text" />
<input type="text" name="sub/text" />
<input type="text" name="sub/sub1/text" />
<input type="Submit" />
</form>
i.e. just put slashes in the form parameter names and child nodes will
be created as needed.

IIRC you can post a Json file in the body of the post and it becomes the node tree.
