Angela Schreiber commented on SLING-9871:
-----------------------------------------
[~ashishc], [~enorman], IMHO there one piece missing in the discussion here:
the default implementation in Oak will perform some automatic cleanup and
{{AccessControlList.addAccessControlEntry}} (and the jackrabbit variants of it)
are not guaranteed to result in a new ACE being added at the end of the list
(see oak docu and exercises for examples). Since repo-init only uses JCR and
Jackrabbit API the re-ordering might only work under special circumstances.....
so I am not sure this is doable except for very limited cases.
> Specifying order of ACEs through repoinit directives

> Key: SLING-9871
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9871
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Repoinit
> Reporter: Ashish Chopra
> Priority: Major
>
> As of writing this, repoinit processor (among other things not relevant to
> this JIRA) collects {{create path}} statements and {{set ACL}} statements
> declared in all the feature-models applicable to feature-aggregate under
> consideration.
> Upon repository initialization, it applies all the {{create path}}
> statements, followed by all the {{set ACL}} statements. However, the order in
> which {{set ACL}} statements declared across feature models are applied isn't
> defined (currently, it seems to be based on feature-model-name,
> alphabetically ascending).
> This causes issues at times because we want the order of the ACEs to be
> maintained (e.g., "deny"s for everyone at a given path must be the first ACE,
> followed by "allow"s for specific, non-system-user principals)
> Repoinit should be able to support this requirement.
