Jan Kuzniak updated JCR-599:
----------------------------
Attachment: repositoryConfigInheritance.patch
Patch attached. Solution allows to enable this feature and keeps it disabled by
default so I see no conflict here. I'm waiting for comments.
> 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
> Attachments: repositoryConfigInheritance.patch
>
>
> 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.
