Description

Right now, the bundle resource and the fs resource "hard coded" test for a session and for a node in the repository, if the requested resource is a folder.

I think we should generalize this and provide a mechanism for a resource provider to get a resource from a resource provider with a lower ranking. This would solve this use case but also allow a use case where a resource provider combines information from different resource providers, e.g. when the repository stores meta information about a file (just a rough thought)
