Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-1834:
-------------------------------------

It's great to have a implementation-independent way to open a repository!

This implementation can't do a few things. The following use cases are 
unimportant for me, are they important for somebody else?:

- An application can not get a list of installed providers. Workaround: use 
javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry directly. 

- An application can not specify what provider to use (using 
RepositoryFactory): The repository factory calls connect on each provider, and 
returns the repository of the first provider that doesn't return null. 
Workaround: call the implementation directly.

- An application can not find out what properties need to be set. I don't know 
of a workaround. It could be solved by adding 
RepositoryFactory.getParameterInfo similar to java.sql.Driver.getPropertyInfo.

> JSR 283 specifies a RepositoryFactory to retrieve a repository instance based 
> on a map of parameters. We should have the following implementations:
> - local repository with repository home and repository configuration 
> parameters
> - repository obtained via JNDI
> - repository obtained via RMI
