-------------------------------------
> By controlling access to the proposed ManagedRepository interface.
And how do you do that? For the admin session, getRepository() returns a
ManagedRepositoryImpl, and for non-admin sessions, it returns RepositoryImpl?
That sounds like a weird solution. Access rights are 'usually' bound to the
user that is logged in (Repository.login()). This is true for the rest of
Jackrabbit, and for other common APIs such as the JDBC API.
> My point is that management operations like garbage collection, shutdown,
> etc. should be outside the scope of normal client connections.
Why is that?
> This way we don't need to invent new access control privileges for such
> operations.
So you want to have a completely different access rights mechanism? Why?

I need it to do display the progress.

Not as far as I know.

Could the listener rather be passed as an argument to mark()?
The observation listener is an implementation detail of the garbage collector.
The user of the API should have to deal with it.

Sure! API design is hard, and it's always good if multiple people look at it.

> Currently, the garbage collection is not part of the Jackrabbit API. However,
> the data store garbage collection must be used once in a while if the data
> store is enabled. I propose to add the required interfaces to the Jackrabbit
> API. This will also allow to call garbage collection using RMI.
