---------------------------------------
Summary: Provide a way to mark a resource as a template
Key: SLING-4271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4271
Project: Sling
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Installer
Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
Fix For: Installer Core 3.5.6
We need a way to mark a resource as a template. This can be done through a
property in the dictionary:
If this property is set (the value is ignored), this artifact acts like a
template:
If the artifact is changed into a new artifact and later this new artifact is
deleted, the installer will not revert to the template. Without this property,
the installer would install the original artifact again.
For example: if a configuration is installed and then changed through
configuration admin, a new artifact for the new configuration is created and
managed. If now this configuration is deleted through configuration admin and
the original configuration is not marked as a template, the original
configuration is applied: the delete through config admin is not a remove of
the configuration but a revert to the initial version.
If the initial configuration is marked as template with this property, the
removal of the changed configuration results in a real removal.
