> Support for jcr namespace prefixes

> Key: SLING-86

> Project: Sling

>
> Namespace handling with jcr can become complicated as usually the application
> is just using prefixes instead of the full namespace uri. Therefore the
> application either has to make assumptions about the registered prefixes or
> has to lookup the used prefixes. While the assumptions obviously can lead to
> problems, the second solution is very hard and time consuming to implement.
> Sling can help in this respect as it ensures that some prefixes point to the
> correct namespace regardless of how they are registered in the repository.
> This can be done by reassigning namespaces on a per session base.
> The idea is that a bundle can have the "Sling-Namespaces" manifest entry
> which can contain one or more definition for namespaces, like
> Sling-Namespaces: sling=http://sling.apache.org/jcr/core/1.0
> Sling will take care that these prefixes are mapped accordingly for each
> session which is get through Sling. There an application based on Sling can
> safely make the assumption about these namespace prefixes.
> The manifest entries will be read on a bundle install event and updated on an
> uninstall event.
