Marius Petria commented on SLING-3352:
--------------------------------------

bquote. OTOH, you can already POST to the felix web console (using admin 
credentials) to change configurations, so the added benefit is not so clear.

The benefit would be that you can give restricted users access to certain 
configuration

bquote. Maybe /providers/... or something more obvious would help..... 
Something like /mnt/osgiconfig/PID which is its clearly separate own tree 

We could drop the possibility to customize the root node and always mount the 
provider in predefined and non confusing path. For example 
/mnt/osgiconfig/factoryPid/configFriendlyName
{code}
{
    "jcr:primaryType" : "sling:OsgiConfig",
    "name" : "replicationAgents",
    "friendlyNameProperty" : "name",
    "configFactoryPid" : 
"org.apache.sling.replication.agent.impl.ReplicationAgentServiceFactory"
}
{code}

> 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)
