Felix Meschberger commented on SLING-3352:
------------------------------------------
I am not sure, whether we need another copy of the configuration besides what
is held in Configuration Admin service (the source of truth) and the config
files/nodes which are used to ingest configuration (and to persist for
information and clustering, mainly). If you persist these configurations in yet
another place, you generate another synchronization night mare.
This is not to say, that you should not create application friendly HTTP
endpoints to configure replication agents, but these are two distinct stories
which IMHO should not be merged and mingled.
> Expose OSGI configuration as JCR nodes
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-3352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3352
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Marius Petria
> Labels: replication
>
> We need a safe way to expose OSGI configuration via HTTP.
> Requirements:
> - all configs for a certain factory should be manageable
> - they should have associated JCR nodes that contain the config properties
> - only configs that are available through ConfigurationAdmin should be
> available
> - the HTTP urls should have friendly names
> - (Optional) the implementation should be general enough to be used for other
> configs other than replication if needed
> For example: a configuration with name publish for
> org.apache.sling.replication.agent.impl.ReplicationAgentServiceFactory
> should be mapped to /etc/replication/agent/publish
> Problems with current implementation of JCR nodes created by JCR installed:
> - Configuration files are read and created from /apps/.../config or
> /libs/.../config, and there is no easy way to determine which are active in
> the ConfigurationAdmin
> - There is no way to restrict a repository path to create only configuration
> from a specified factory (making it unusable with relaxed ACLs)
> - The url of a configuration is unfriendly (it contains the fully qualified
> name of the factory)
> - The node types are not homogenous making it hard to use in a client
> application (some are nt:file, some are sling:OsgiConfig)
