The first time the embedded repository starts, it looks for a configuration file specified by the sling.repository.config.file.url property. If that file doesn't exist, the bundle's Activator [1] getConfigFile() method copies a default repository.xml file supplied by the bundle to the repository's home directory, and sets the corresponding OSGi configuration parameter to point to that file. The OSGi configurations themselves are stored under in the config subfolder of the sling home folder. Deleting this before restarting Sling will cause all OSGi configs to return to their default values. Hope this helps, -Bertrand [1] http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/bundles/jcr/jackrabbit-server/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/jcr/jackrabbit/server/impl/Activator.java > > On Aug 31, 2009, at 11:55 PM, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: > >> Hi Josh, >> >> On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 10:36 PM, Josh Kennedy<[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> On Aug 26, 2009, at 5:33 AM, Bertrand Delacretaz wrote: >>>> >>>> ...The changes of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-739 should >>>> help,... >> >>> ...I set 'sling.repository.config.file.url' to an HTTP URL in the >>> init-params >>> of the web.xml to no avail.
