> Key: SLING-8116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8116
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Jason E Bailey
> Priority: Major
>
> Implement default methods in the ValueMap interface that leverages the OSGi
> Converter
> see
> [https://osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/util.converter.html]
> Once this is implemented, custom implementations of the ValueMap interface
> can start being removed, where appropriate, so that a consistent and
> comprehensive conversion of properties occur. We can then add new Rules to
> the Converter to allow features to be populated to all ValueMap
> implementations.
>
> To implement this, the following will also need to happen
> * The Converter bundle will need to be added as a required bundle
> ** Various scripts that define the minimum needed set of bundles will need
> to be updated
> * Communication on the difference in behaviour between the current ValueMap
> and the ValueMap with Converter
>
