----------------------------------------
Summary: Simplify AbstractSlingRepository implementation
Key: SLING-3384
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3384
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JCR
Affects Versions: JCR Base 2.1.2, JCR Jackrabbit Server 2.1.0
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Assignee: Felix Meschberger
With the introduction of the SlingRepository.loginService method the existing
setup of the AbstractSlingRepository became quite complex in that it hacks in a
SlingRepository proxy to be able to register the SlingRepository as a service
and implement the new method.
An additional problem of the AbstractSlingRepository class is that it expects
the implementation to be implemented using Declarative Services. While this was
simple and easy in the beginning it created a runtime dependency which does not
go well with the OSGi framework.
So, I propose to create a new couple of (abstract) classes which simplify the
setup and implementation of SlingRepository services.
Another "feature" of the original AbstractSlingRepository base class was access
to "foreign" repositories as well as repository pinging which turns out to be
functionality not being usefull in an abstract base class. Rather this would be
something in an actual implementation which knows how to deal with such
pre-existing "foreign" repository instances.
