We had custom implementation of ResourceProvider based on org.apache.sling.api.resource.ResourceProvider API. It was working fine with AEM6.1.
After migration to AEM6.4, we had few issues with this implementation-
1. Authoring was not working for all pages under root paths. For example- /content/mysite/products and /content/yoursite/products
2. In publishers, under these paths sling:alias functionality does not work.
Because this implementation was based on deprecated API, Adobe suggested us to re-write this implementation using new API- org.apache.sling.spi.resource.provider.ResourceProvider.
But, this new implementation is unstable and the containing bundle does not get installed while deployment. It keeps on installing this bundles for long duration and system gets unstable.
Below is old implementation-
@Service
@Component(immediate = true, metatype = true, policy = ConfigurationPolicy.REQUIRE)
@Properties({ @Property(name = ResourceProvider.ROOTS, value = { "/content/mysite/products", "/content/yoursite/products" }) })
public class CustomResourceProvider implements ResourceProvider {
private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CustomResourceProvider.class);
@Override
@Deprecated
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resourceResolver, HttpServletRequest request, String path)
{
return null;
}
@Override
public Resource getResource(ResourceResolver resolver, String path)
{
// method to return resource
}
@Override
public Iterator<Resource> listChildren(Resource arg0)
{
return null;
}
}
Below is new implementation-
@Service(ResourceProvider.class)
@Component
@Properties({
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_ROOT, value = { "/content/mysite/products", "/content/yoursite/products" }) ,
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_ADAPTABLE, boolValue = true),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_ATTRIBUTABLE, boolValue = true),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_MODIFIABLE, boolValue = true),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_REFRESHABLE, boolValue = true),
@Property(name = ResourceProvider.PROPERTY_AUTHENTICATE, value = ResourceProvider.AUTHENTICATE_REQUIRED)
})
