Allow to inherit workspace configuration from repository level template
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-599
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-599
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: config
Affects Versions: 0.9, 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1
Reporter: Przemo Pakulski
Priority: Minor
RepositoryConfig file contains section with template for Workspace config. This
template is used to create new workspace using jackrabbit internal api, and new
workspace configuration file is created based on this template.
Probably in most scenarios common configuration for all workspaces is used. If
you need to make some configuration changes then you have to iterate through
each workspace and edit each config file separately.
It is quit easy task if you are using local file system, but can be hard if
other file systems are used (for example using DbFileSystem editing blobs in
database is required).
Our proposal to make some improvement here and allow to inherit workspace
configuration by reading it from repository level template. Change made in
repository config file will be reflected auomaticallly in all worskpaces then.
Feature details :
- if workspace.xml file doesn't exists it can be inherited (read and created in
memory from template), no workspace.xml file must be generated,
- you can still override workspace config by creating workspace.xml file by
hand, then this file will be used instead of template,
- if required additional parameter 'inheritConfig' can be added with default
value 'false' to keep current behaviour
and workspace config inheritance will work only if this parameter is set to
'true'.
We are working on this feature, and we will contribute patch.
