Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-12757:
------------------------------------------
We can't change the contract of the Resource interface - or at least we should
not. There is nearly no code out there expecting getName() or most of the
methods to throw an exception.
I think we introduced throwing exceptions in AbstractResource due to a series
of refactorings and as these are unchecked exceptions this went through
unnoticed.
It seems that ResourceUtil.getName() is doing to much - it should extract the
name from the path which is just the last path segment, but it is also trying
to normalize the path - which in most cases is unnecessary to get the name.

> Key: SLING-12757
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12757
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: API
> Affects Versions: API 2.27.6
> Reporter: Joerg Hoh
> Priority: Major
>
> {{AbstractResource.getName()}} can throw both a NPE and an
> IllegalArgumentException, because these can thrown by
> {{ResourceUtil.getName()}}, although this is not documented.
> We have 2 options:
> # keep the existing implementation and adjust the API doc, that it can throw
> these exceptions.
> # stick to the existing API doc and catch&log these 2 exceptions. This leaves
> the question what to return in this case.
> WDYT?
