Description

The MergingServletResourceProvider does not wrap resources correctly, forcing script engines that need to solve dependencies via this provider to call ResourceResolver#resolve(String). Unfortunately, there is a case when the call to resolve fails:

/apps/components/a/
    a.html
    helper.something.html
    helper/ [backed by JCR]
      partial.html
/apps/components/b [sling:resourceSuperType=components/a]
    b.html -> tries to resolve helper.something.html

In the case above, b.html will get the helper folder when trying to resolve helper.something.html.

If the MergingServletResourceProvider would correctly wrap resources (and decorate them accordingly), the script engines could switch to using ResourceResolver#getResource(String), which would not exhibit the same behaviour.
