legacy, and Jackrabbit Oak (was: Document servlets provided by Jackrabbit
legacy, and Jackrabbit Oak)

> Key: JCR-4802
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4802
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Graham Leggett
> Priority: Major
>
> At this time, there is significant confusion over the remoting capabilities
> of Jackrabbit.
> In Jackrabbit legacy, we have two servlets:
> - Simple Webdav Server
> - JCR Webdav Server
> In Jackrabbit Oak, we have what seems to be a different servlet:
> - OakServlet
> The confusion comes about because at first past, the end user gets the
> impression that the server in oak-run is the Simple Webdav Server and JCR
> Webdav Server from jackrabbit legacy.
> Only after deploying the server and start digging into the source to get an
> explanation of the behaviour of the oak server, we find the OakServlet, which
> appears to contain an undocumented ad-hoc HTTP API, which is in turn hard
> coded to accept Basic Authentication only.
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-http/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/http/OakServlet.java
> Ideally the docs for the server part of the oak-run tool needs to be updated
> to clearly indicate that the API bears no relation to past APIs, on this page:
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-run/README.md
