----------------------------------
> Looking for versionable ancestor may cause failure
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-1797
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1797
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Servlets
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Felix Meschberger
> Fix For: Servlets Post 2.1.0
>
>
> The AbstractSlingPostOperation.findVersionableAncestor method tries to find a
> versionable ancestor to the node to be modified during the request by
> repeatedly calling Item.getParent() until the root or a versionable node is
> reached.
> If the current request does not have access to an ancestor thus visited an
> AccessDeniedException is thrown by the getParent() method thus failing the
> POST request early and probably unrelated to any actually requested operation.
> Fix is to catch the AccessDeniedException and assume no versionable ancestor.
> If the operation then fails, it will fail due to the actual operation failing
> possibly because an ancestor which should be checked out.
