---------------------------
Summary: DefaultSyncContext catches ClassCastException
Key: OAK-3523
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-3523
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Bug
Components: auth-external
Reporter: angela
the group and group-member sync code in the {{DefaultSyncContext}} twice
catches {{ClassCastException}} and swallows exception situations, where a user
is found, when actually a {{Group}} was expected.
i would suggest to
- explicitly test the assumption wrt {{ExternalIdentity}} being a group
(instead of waiting for the exception)
- make use of {{UserManager.getAuthorizable(String, Class) to explicitly
retrieve a Group with a given ID, when this is actually expected. This method
will throws an {{AuthorizableTypeException}} if there exists a {{User}} with
that ID as thus properly raise the unexpected behavior instead of swallowing
with a log-warning.
