Thomas Mueller commented on JCR-2360:
-------------------------------------
Instead of hard-coding the prefix-to-factory mapping, we could add a way for
factories to 'register' one more multiple URL prefixes. Similar to JDBC,
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/DriverManager.html#registerDriver(java.sql.Driver)
- instead of an explicit "register" method, the factory could return the list
of prefixes it supports.

> As discussed on the mailing list, it would be nice to have a trivially simple
> way (one line of code) to connect to a repository. The RepositoryFactory
> interface in JCR 2.0 defines a way for clients to get a repository reference
> without a direct implementation dependency, but a client still needs extra
> code to handle the Service Provider lookup and the iteration through all the
> available repository factories.
> To simplify client code I'd like to introduce a
> JcrUtils.getRepository(Map<String, String>) method that takes care of the
> tasks mentioned above:
> Map<String, String> parameters = ...; // repository settings
> Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository(parameters);
> As a further simplification, I'd also like to introduce a
> JcrUtils.getRepository(String) method that builds the parameter map based on
> a given "repository URI".
> Repository repository =
> JcrUtils.getRepository("file:///path/to/repository");
> Repository repository =
> JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:8080/server";);
> The set of supported URI types is still to be defined.
