-------------------------------------------
Summary: Introduce ContentRepository Registration
Key: SLING-12848
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-12848
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Herman Ciechanowiec
1. Jackrabbit Oak has internal dependencies on the
`org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.api.ContentRepository` service. For instance, the
registration of
`org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.impl.jmx.SynchronizationMBean`
as a JMX MBean will not occur if a `ContentRepository` service is unavailable
([https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/b5c317af752b3c421c9d341a7cfca407dff29af5/oak-auth-external/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/spi/security/authentication/external/impl/ExternalLoginModuleFactory.java#L203-L206]).
2. A standard Apache Sling application based on the Apache Sling Starter does
not register a `ContentRepository` service, and no such logic is implemented in
any of the Apache Sling bundles. Therefore, code that is dependent on the
existence of a registered `ContentRepository` service does not work as
expected. Among other things, the registration of a `SynchronizationMBean` as a
JMX MBean does not happen.
3. The proposed solution is to introduce the `ContentRepository` registration
in the `sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-oak-server` bundle, which is responsible for
repository initialization. This solution was agreed upon in this email thread:
[https://lists.apache.org/thread/xt4r7zo7gr4z0ppymp9flfcyvfj6yg97].
