Description

In a composite setup we don't support referenceable nodes in mounts. Reality is though that for a typical Sling-based setup there will be lots of nt:resource nodes in /libs and /apps, and that's were we expect to see mounts. Since nt:resource is referenceable any mount-time sanity check will fail ( see OAK-6505 ) .

Rather than force adaption of all content packages that write in /libs and /apps to use oak:Resource, I would rather suggest a configuration to transparently map nt:resource nodes to oak:Resource ones.

I did not dig into the code yet but I would like to hear what others think about this idea before going further. tripod ?
