Bertrand Delacretaz created SLING-5449:
------------------------------------------
Summary: Content repository initialization language
Key: SLING-5449
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5449
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
Assignee: Bertrand Delacretaz
Priority: Minor
Discussions on our dev list and with my colleagues around SLING-5355 (the ACL
definition language) show that we need to initialize a number of things when
starting on a new or existing content repository:
* Create the "base tree", paths like /libs, /apps, /var that many modules use
and sometimes compete to create.
* Create service users
* Set ACLs on the base tree for those service users
* And maybe setup some JCR-specific things like node types and custom
privileges, that other content repositories would ignore.
I'll create a more general module than what I created for SLING-5355 (which
hasn't been released) to cover those things, and put it under
{{commons/jcrinit}} as it shouldn't have any dependencies on Sling. We might
donate it to Jackrabbit once it matures but for now my goal is to implement the
whole cycle inside Sling as it's the primary customer of that.
The JCR-specific APIs should only use a JCR Session as a handle to the content
repository, to keep this independent of Sling and allow it to be used in other
contexts like tests.
