Hi all, In our commercial CMS application we have a mechanism where we separate authoring instances (where content authors fill in content) from publishing instances (where internet surfers hit). Content authors can validate the content before publishing it to the publishing instances.
This all works well, except for configuration stored in the /etc/map structure to configure the URL to Resource mapping of the Resource Resolver. The problem is that we cannot prepare this configuration on the authoring instance without affecting the operation of the authoring instance. The reason for this is that the /etc/map location is currently fixed and cannot be configured. To overcome this limitation two options come to my mind: (O1) Make /etc/map location configurable This enables us to configure the /etc/map location and configure a publishing instance specific structure on the author instance. (O2) Add support for RunModes Our CMS system leverages the RunMode service from contrib/extensions/runmode to detect whether the system is running as an authoring or a publishing instance. So, we could enhance the entries in the /etc/map structure to optionally provide a sling:runmode property (single- or multi-value string type). If such a property is set, the entry is only used if the RunMode.isActive(String[]) returns true. WDYT of such extensions ? Regards Felix
