AEM 6.1 Touch UI | Populating Drop Down | Fetching resourceType of the actual component in datasource

Correct answer by
""But when I do "resource.getResourceType()"
I do not think this is necessary at all. You can invoke a OSGi service and populate a DataSource object without using getReourceType. Then the TouchUI dropdown will be populated with data.
For example - assume you want to read a specific resource in the JCR (a node somewhere) and create a map using its node props (rest of this answer addresses this use case)
If you want to populate a Map with JCR data - write a method in the OSGi bundle that performs these tasks:
1- gets node data (from a specific node in the JCR)
2 - populates a map using the data
3 - returns the map.
For example - OSGi service that returns a map:
public HashMap getMapData(String url)
{
try
{
this.resourcePath = url;
ResourceResolver resourceResolver = this.resolverFactory
.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);
Resource res = resourceResolver.getResource(this.resourcePath);
ValueMap readMap = res.getValueMap();
HashMap<String, String> myMap= new HashMap();
//populate the map
return myMap;
}
In your JSP - you can call this method
optionMap = mySource.getMapData(pathFieldValue);
If you need a JCR Path to point to the node - then use a PathField in the dialog of the component. Get the value of the pathfield in the JSP and pass that to getMapData (apthFieldValue argument).
For example:
Then the Java code can read that and populate the map with the JCR node prop name and values. (shown above).
THen the drop-down in the TOuch UI will then display node props names and prop values.
