Summary: Test and Fix Apache Oak Integration with Sling: GSoC2013
Key: SLING-2800
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2800
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JCR
Reporter: Ian Boston
This is a proposal for GSoC2013:
Apache Oak[1] is creating the next version of Apache Jackrabbit. It will be
highly scalable, capable of web scale deployment. Apache Sling will use Apache
Oak as its central repository, however, this work is very new. The taks of
making Sling available on Oak[2] is almost complete, however the task of
integration testing has not been started.
Within Sling there are a large number of integration tests that verify the
operation of Sling. This GSoC project is to work with Apache Sling ontop of
Apache Oak and fix the integration tests providing patches to Apache Sling and
potentially to Apache Oak.
Who ever gets accepted to work on this project will learn an immense amount
about the internals of both Sling and Oak and, assuming there are bugs will
provide an extremely valuable contribution Sling and potentially Oak.
There is some risk in applying for this project, as Sling may work perfectly
ontop of Oak first time, although I think this is unlikely.
Advanced Java skills are required, knowledge of Integration testing, JUnit and
OSGi are also required.
Some knowledge of JCR, Jackrabbit, Sling and Oak will be advantageous.
