Alexander Klimetschek commented on SLING-2477:
----------------------------------------------
@Felix: good points. Though the config file format was introduced without much
discussion IIRC, so wrapping it back on the original sling:OsgiConfig way just
because it is there is not a very strong argument IMO ;)
If there is no one else sharing my desire for a more intuitive format (I am
still hoping for some feedback from outside of our small group), then at least
only add the string notation for the non-JCR types. E.g. int, short, byte,
float & char: "IiSsXxFf". The whole point of doing a sling:OsgiConfig in the
first place (before the config file variant was added) was to use JCR's fine
granular structure as much as possible and this includes types.
> Configuration via sling:OsgiConfig nodes does not support all types

> Most notably, the common "service.ranking" needs to be an Integer, while the
> jcr property mapping only allows for "Long" types at the moment. The problem
> is that JCR has a smaller set of property types than the OSGi config admin
> (JCR: String, Boolean, Long, Double, Decimal; OSGi: String, Boolean, Long,
> Integer, Float, Double, and probably more differences...).
> Similarly to properties files (which do it in the value like
> 'service.ranking=I"-10000"' with I=Integer), there must be a way to
> explicitly specify the type regardless of the JCR type. For example, encoding
> it in the property name like "service.ranking{int}".
