@ProviderType public interface ResourceResolver extends Adaptable
ResourceResolver
defines the service API which may be used
to resolve Resource
objects. The resource resolver is available to
the request processing servlet through the
SlingHttpServletRequest.getResourceResolver()
method.
A resource resolver can also be created through the ResourceResolverFactory
.
The ResourceResolver
is also an Adaptable
to get
adapters to other types. A JCR based resource resolver might support adapting
to the JCR Session used by the resolver to access the JCR Repository.
A ResourceResolver
is generally not thread safe! As a
consequence, an application which uses the resolver, its returned resources
and/or objects resulting from adapting either the resolver or a resource,
must provide proper synchronization to ensure no more than one thread
concurrently operates against a single resolver, resource or resulting
objects.
Accessing Resources
This interface defines two kinds of methods to access resources: The
resolve
methods and the getResource
methods. The
difference lies in the algorithm applied to find the requested resource and
in the behavior in case a resource cannot be found:
Method Kind | Access Algorithm | Missing Resource |
---|---|---|
resolve | Path is always assumed to be absolute. Uses elaborate resource resolution algorithm. This kind of method is intended to resolve request URLs to resources. | Returns NonExistingResource |
getResource | Directly access resources with absolute path. For relative paths, the
search path is applied. This method is intended to
be used by request processing scripts to access further resources as
required. |
Returns null |
Lifecycle
A Resource Resolver has a life cycle which begins with the creation of the
Resource Resolver using any of the factory methods and ends with calling the
close()
method. It is very important to call the close()
method once the resource resolver is not used any more to ensure any system
resources are properly cleaned up.
To check whether a Resource Resolver can still be used, the isLive()
method can be called.
Resource Resolver Attributes
The authentication info properties provided to the
ResourceResolverFactory.getResourceResolver(Map)
,
ResourceResolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(Map)
, or
clone(Map)
are available through the getAttributeNames()
and getAttribute(String)
methods with the exception of security
sensitive properties like ResourceResolverFactory.PASSWORD
which is
not exposed.

The difference between this method and the resolve(String)

resource.

NonExistingResource
if the path cannot be resolved to an existing

This method is intended to apply the same algorithm to the absolute path
as is used by the resolve(HttpServletRequest)
method except for
cases where the latter uses request property such as request headers or
request parameters to resolve a resource.
It is ok for the implementation of this method to just call the
resolve(HttpServletRequest, String)
method with
null
as the request argument.

Note, that technically the resourcePath
need not refer to an
existing resource. This method just applies the mappings and returns the
resulting string. If the resourcePath
does not address an
existing resource roundtripping may of course not work and calling
resolve(String)
with the path returned may return
null
.
This method is intended as the reverse operation of the
resolve(String)
method.

more mapping functionality.resourcePath
- The path for which to return a mapped path.IllegalStateException
- if this resource resolver has already been
closed
.Resource getResource(String path)
Resource
object for data located at the given path.
This specification does not define the location for resources or the
semantics for resource paths. For an implementation reading content from
a Java Content Repository, the path could be a
javax.jcr.Item
path from which the resource object is
loaded. In contrast to the resolve(String)
method, this method
does not apply any logic to the path, so the path is used as-is to fetch
the content.
path
- The absolute path to the resource object to be loaded. The
path may contain relative path specifiers like .
(current location) and ..
(parent location),
which are resolved by this method. If the path is relative,
that is the first character is not a slash, implementations
are expected to apply a search path algorithm to resolve the
relative path to a resource.Resource

null
if the path does not resolve to a resource.SlingException

load the resource object from the path.IllegalStateException

This specification does not define the location for resources or the
semantics for resource paths. For an implementation reading content from
a Java Content Repository, the path could be a
javax.jcr.Item
path from which the resource object is
loaded.
base
- The base Resource
against which a relative path
argument given by path
is resolved. This
parameter may be null
if the path
is
known to be absolute.path
- The path to the resource object to be loaded. If the path is
relative, i.e. does not start with a slash (/
),
the resource relative to the given base
resource
is returned. The path may contain relative path specifiers
like .
(current location) and ..
(parent location), which are resolved by this method.Resource

null

load the resource object from the path or if

.String[] getSearchPath()
getResource(String)
method
to search for resources by relative path. If no search path is set an
empty array is returned.
The returned array of strings is a copy of the internal value, so modifications to this array have no influence on the operation of the ResourceResolver.
The search path of a resource resolver never changes during the lifetime of the resource resolver. Therefore clients may call this method once and use the stored value together with this resource resolver.
Each entry in the array is an absolute path terminated with a slash character. Thus to create an absolute path from a search path entry and a relative path, the search path entry and relative path may just be concatenated.
