        Deprecated.
        The name of the service registration property containing the a boolean flag whether this provider owns the tree registered by the roots. The default for this value is false.

        The name of the service registration property containing the a boolean flag indicating if the ResourceAccessSecurity service should be used for this provider or not. ResourceProvider implementations are encouraged to use the ResourceAccessSecurity service for access control unless the underlying storage already provides it. The default for this value is false.

      • getResource

        @Deprecated
        @Nullable
        @Nullable Resource getResource​(@NotNull
                                       @NotNull ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
                                       @NotNull
                                       @NotNull HttpServletRequest request,
                                       @NotNull
                                       @NotNull java.lang.String path)
        Deprecated.
        since 2.2.0 (and JCR Resource 2.1.0), this method will not be invoked.
        Returns a resource from this resource provider or null if the resource provider cannot find it. The path should have one of the ROOTS strings as its prefix.

        This method is called to resolve a resource for the given request. The properties of the request, such as request parameters, may be use to parameterize the resource resolution. An example of such parameterization is support for a JSR-311 style resource provider to support the parameterized URL patterns.

        Parameters:
        resourceResolver - The ResourceResolver to which the returned Resource is attached.
        request - The request
        path - The resource path
        Returns:
        null If this provider does not have a resource for the path.
        Throws:
        SlingException - may be thrown in case of any problem creating the Resource instance.
      • getResource

        @Nullable
        @Nullable Resource getResource​(@NotNull
                                       @NotNull ResourceResolver resourceResolver,
                                       @NotNull
                                       @NotNull java.lang.String path)
        Deprecated.
        Returns a resource from this resource provider or null if the resource provider cannot find it. The path should have one of the ROOTS strings as its prefix. The resource provider must not return cached instances for a resource as the resource resolver will update the resource metadata of the resource at the end of the resolution process and this metadata might be different depending on the full path of resource resolution passed into the resource resolver.
        Parameters:
        resourceResolver - The ResourceResolver to which the returned Resource is attached.
        path - The full path of the resource.
        Returns:
        null If this provider does not have a resource for the path.
        Throws:
        SlingException - may be thrown in case of any problem creating the Resource instance.
      • listChildren

        @Nullable
        @Nullable java.util.Iterator<Resource> listChildren​(@NotNull
                                                            @NotNull Resource parent)
        Deprecated.
        Returns an Iterator of Resource objects loaded from the children of the given Resource. The returned Resource instances are attached to the same ResourceResolver as the given parent resource.

        This method may be called for resource providers whose root path list contains a path such that the resource path is a prefix of the list entry. This allows for the enumeration of deeply nested provided resources for which no actual parent hierarchy exists.

        The returned iterator may in turn contain resources which do not actually exist but are required to traverse the resource tree. Such resources SHOULD be SyntheticResource objects whose resource type MUST be set to RESOURCE_TYPE_SYNTHETIC. As with getResource(ResourceResolver, String) the returned Resource objects must not be cached objects.

        Parameters:
        parent - The Resource whose children are requested.
        Returns:
        An Iterator of Resource objects or null if the resource provider has no children for the given resource.
        Throws:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - If parent is null.
        SlingException - If any error occurs acquiring the child resource iterator.
