Description

The current MergingResourceProvider does a good job of a single use case - merging resources relative to the search paths. A second use case for merging is to merge resources based on their sling:resourceSuperType inheritance, i.e.

/content/siteA@sling:resourceSuperType=/content/siteB
/content/siteB@sling:resourceSuperType=/content/siteC

It should be possible to generate a merged resource which combines /content/siteA, /content/siteB, and /content/siteC (in reverse order so that siteA overrides siteB, etc.).
