Define session-info like user identification for communication with oak-api
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OAK-40
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-40
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: angela
Assignee: angela
for the communication between oak-jcr and the api/spi to be defined we need
an interface that is obtained during the authentication process and is then used
for all kind authorization throughout the lifetime of a given JCR session.
in r1305860 i added an initial draft of such an interface (called SessionInfo
for now).
i will use this subtask to keep track of further refinement.
currently that SessionInfo has the following methods:
- getUserID:
id of the user associated with original credentials.
- getWorkspaceName:
the workspace name as passed to the Repository.login or the default workspace
name if wspName was null.
- getAttributeNames + getAttribute:
attributes associated with that session. they may originate from the original
credentials or be
implementation specific attributes as generated during the login process.
- getRevision:
initially the head revision of the mk. upon Session#refresh and any write
operations on the oak-api
this revisionID is being updated to the latest version.
we may discuss later on if it was desirable to create a JCR session for a
specific revisionID.
e.g. that could be passed with credential attributes.
- dispose:
to indicate that this session info will no longer be used.
currently i just added a dummy implementation to be able to move the
Repository.login implementation down to oak-core.
as soon as we have a clearer picture of how the communication between the
jcr-layer
and oak-api will look like that sessioninfo may contain additional
session internal information that may or may not be part of the interface: i
could
think of Subject, lock tokens...
