Konrad Windszus commented on SLING-11705:
-----------------------------------------
The servlet based impl can only ever be used from Eclipse but is not
appropriate as there is no packaging support defined based on it (i.e. you can
neither ship it or easily install on remote repos outside Eclipse nor integrate
it in Sling Features)
> Transfer based on serialized files instead of abstraction ResourceProxy

> Instead of reproducing the FileVault logic in order to be able to sync
> FileVault content packages correctly it would be good to rely more on
> FileVault classes to do the job of import/export particularly for the tricky
> case where more than 1 file determines the properties of a single node.
> Also in case of an update of a raw .content.xml file in Eclipse this is first
> - deserialized into ResourceProxy objects
> - copied from ResourceProxy object to the remote repo.
> While during the import of the content package this import is being taken
> care of by FileVault.
> The ResourceProxy should merely be used to create an abstraction from the
> serialization files and to update/create serialization files based on it.
> At the same time the Sling POST servlet based implementation can probably be
> removed as those can only ever be synced with Eclipse (and therefore were
> probably never used in reality). The only other packaging formats for
> resources is IMHO Sling Initial Content being part of OSGi bundles but that
> doesn't define an incremental API so syncing is always done via the full
> bundles.
