angela updated JCR-3224:
------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.4
> SystemSession#createSession should return SessionImpl again
> -----------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JCR-3224
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3224
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jackrabbit-core
> Reporter: angela
> Assignee: angela
> Fix For: 2.4
>
>
> a long with the fix of JCR-2890 (revision 1089436) the behavior of
> SystemSession#createSession has changed to
> return a SystemSession instead of SessionImpl as it used to be.
> while i basically consider this move to be correct and the better way of
> dealing with that session-cloning
> mechanism as it prevents the user of this method to convert a SystemSession
> into a regular session
> for extra writing operations (such as e.g. access control editing that is not
> supported with the
> system session to prevent chicken-egg-problems on repo startup).
> therefore i would like to revert that change for the 2.4 release in order to
> prevent regressions.
> for the time after 2.4 i would however suggest that we finally take the time
> to clearly define the
> usages, abilities and responsibilities of the system session and also review
> how and where we
> expose them to the individual 'modules' of jackrabbit core.. i started
> working on this but decided
> that this is definitely too risky for 2.4 whereas reverting the change
> mentioned above should
> imo impose very limited risk as all usages of those sessions i am aware of
> use them as "Session"
> or "SesssionImpl", most of them not even having access to the SystemSession
> class.
