----------------------------------------
Summary: Implement functionality to easily access a user's home
folder
Key: SLING-2599
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2599
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JCR
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Users will generally be managed in the JCR Repository. When using the
Jackrabbit Repository the user's storage node can be accessed by the
ItemBasedPrincipal backing the User.
Since the implementation of the user's location is configuration or even
implementation dependent there is no easy way to create a correct URL to the
user's home location.
To fix this, we should implementat functionality to give easy access to the
user's home location at a canonical URL (and thus Resource) such as /~userid or
/users/userid.
The simplest implementation probably is using a ResourceProvider properly
configured which does:
* adapt ResourceResolver to the Session of the authenticated user
* --> no resource if no Session
* Get the User from the UserManager
* Get the Principal from the User
* --> no resource If the Principal is not an ItemBasedPrincipal
* get the path from the ItemBasedPrincipal
* retrieve the item through the user's own session (to apply access control)
* use the AdapterManager to adapt the Item to a Resource
* --> return the Resource
