Concepts and Ideas

These pages contain concepts and ideas under development for future inclusion in Sling.

• Sling API Redesign
• Module Reorganization Proposal
• Everything is a Resource — Taking the JCR Paradigm Everything is Content to Sling
• Effective Exceptions — We should define the SlingException as a RuntimeException and use it as the base class for all exceptions defined in the Sling API.
• Thoughts on Release Management — Version Number and Release Planning Concept
• Resource Type Overwrite
• Add ResourceResolverFactory Service Interface — Easier and more flexible access to ResourceResolver instances providing the ResourceResolverFactory interface in the Sling API and allow for the extensibility of the factory using new ResourceResolverProvider services.
• Flexible Resource Resolution
• Updating the Sling Launcher — How we could get the Sling Launcher to be updated through management interfaces such as the Felix Web Console or the Felix Shell.
• Multitenancy Support — With support for virtual host resolution we made a first step towards multitenancy support. I would like to propose a further step to provide a basis for further multitenancy support throughout Sling.
• Authentication Initiation — How to generalize initiation of the authentication process.
