If we do end up doing this, then rather than system props the better way
to pass the registry context around would be using thread local storage.
Then we'd get at it by saying RegistryContext.getCurrent() or something
like that.

Hi Paul,
AuthorizingRealm for each user is stored in the user's SecureRegistry
instance. But we also need access to the DefaultRealm, which is used to
create
SecureRegistry instances (AuthorizingRealms are created inside the
SecureRegistry constructor).
We are also keeping a SecureRegistry instance created using the "system"
user for performing background tasks (adding initial users, roles,
creating queries for advance search operations, etc.).
Therefore, we need to access those three classes from many places of the
code. Keeping them as three servlet context properties is also an
option. But then we have to pass servlet context (or the request) object
to all places that need to access them. I think there are some parts in
APP impl, where the servlet context is not available.
So I think that having a RegistryContext as a system property would
solve these problems.
Thanks,
Chathura

Can you explain why we are storing these in the system.properties?
I thought the realm was stored in the secureRegistry instance. I would
have thought that the Registry instance was stored in the Servlet
instance.

At the beginning we had to throw away the RegistryContext (runtime
object of the registry) since we did not find real use of having that.
But now we are storing three separate properties in System.properties so
how about introduce a new class to keep all of them and store only that
in the System.property (In the future we may have some more). We are
storing following in the servlet and system.properties
- Registry instance
- systemRegistry
- RegistryRealm
Thoughts ...
