             Summary: Try to use sling:resourceType as a node type for node creation
                 Key: SLING-2782
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2782
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JCR
    Affects Versions: JCR Resource 2.2.4
            Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
             Fix For: JCR Resource 2.2.6


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.
