Felix Meschberger commented on JCR-3222:
----------------------------------------
Unfortunately this is a compiled library and I cannot see, what's changed ....
But then, somehow this feels like official Reflection Programming ....
How about using OSGi services ?
(0) The DavexServletService is already registered as a Servlet service for
Whiteboard Http Service registration
(1) We could add a contextId configuration which could be configured to refer
to a HttpContext service used by the Whiteboard registration
(2) Support a SessionProvider service providing pluggability
Sling (or other OSGi based use cases) could then just provide the missing
pieces.
Will provide a proposed patch.

> In order to integrate the Jackrabbit davex server functionality with their
> custom authentication logic, the Sling project currently needs to embed and
> subclass the davex servlet classes. It would be cleaner if such tight
> coupling wasn't needed.
> One way to achieve something like that would be to allow external components
> to provide a custom SessionProvider instance as an extra request attribute.
> This way for example a servlet filter that implements such custom
> authentication logic could easily make its functionality available to the
> standard davex servlet in Jackrabbit.
