Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-8843:
--------------------------------------------
I agree with both previous comments: keep the strong contract as is, and having
a relaxed development would would be useful.
Note that creating an OSGi console plugin that executes repoinit statements (as
a playground) shouldn't be hard, there's an example of executing repoinit
statements in
[RepoInitTextIT.java|https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-repoinit/blob/master/src/test/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/repoinit/it/RepoInitTextIT.java]
using the {{RepoInitParser}} and {{JcrRepoInitOpsProcessor}} services.
> exceptions on repoinit break construction of the SlingRepository service
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-8843
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8843
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Repoinit
> Affects Versions: Repoinit JCR 1.1.14
> Reporter: Jörg Hoh
> Priority: Major
>
> The repoinit statements are executed during the construction of the
> SlingRepository instance; and if currently an exception is thrown at that
> level (for whatever reason), this exception is propagated up to the
> construction of the SlingRepository service, which is then terminated. As a
> consequence the SlingRepository is not available which makes the application
> unusable.
> While this should never happen, any occurrence of it makes fixing it harder,
> especially if the analysis requires to have a look at the content within the
> repository.
> Thus i would request, that all type of exceptions thrown within repoinit are
> caught and logged, but do not propagated.
> (Especially if you play with repoinit statements you have a high chance, that
> you boostrap your instance multiple times if you don't get it right the first
> time.)
