Carsten Ziegeler commented on SLING-6059:
-----------------------------------------
While I think that this inheritance is needed, I agree that having zero control
is not good, it would at least need a way to disable inheritance. I'm not sure
whether we need a separate ticket or can directly discuss it here
> Context-Aware Config: Rethink resource inheritance for configuration
> collections
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-6059
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-6059
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Stefan Seifert
> Assignee: Stefan Seifert
> Labels: contextaware-config
> Fix For: Context-Aware Configuration 1.0.0
>
>
> currently and automatic merging/combining of configuration resource items
> takes place. example:
> {noformat}
> /conf/site1/feature/a
> /conf/site1/feature/c
> /conf/global/feature/b
> /libs/conf/feature/c
> {noformat}
> this returns a,b,c when config resource collection for "feature" is
> requested. c is from /conf/site1/feature/c and not from /libs/conf/feature/c.
> this is inconsistent to the support for properties (where currently no such
> "merging" is supported), and can have undesired effects.
> furthermore it is problematic when saving configuration collections via the
> ConfigurationManager interface (SLING-6062). when storing a set of config
> resources for /conf/site1 they are stored as children of /conf/site1/feature.
> but when reading them again they are automatically merged with the others
> from the fallback paths, and the user has no possibility to prevent this.
> so we should either disable this merging on paths, or implement it correctly
> with giving the user control when merging should take place or not (confmgr
> has a special property for this).
