Marius Petria commented on SLING-3352:
--------------------------------------
[~bdelacretaz] my affirmation is not backed up by automated tests (I will try
to write some before submiting the patch). I just wanted to show the scope of
the syncronization, meaning that nodes need to exist only during the lifetime
of the synchronization agent, they are not a persistence mechanism, just an
access mechanism.
Of course it might be tricky to implement it and especially hard to test in a
multithreaded environment. Because of that I am planning to propose the patch
only for replication and use it as a proof of concept for something that maybe
is worth generalized.
> Expose OSGI configuration as JCR nodes
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-3352
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3352
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Marius Petria
> Labels: replication
>
> We need a safe way to expose OSGI configuration via HTTP.
> Requirements:
> - all configs for a certain factory should be manageable
> - they should have associated JCR nodes that contain the config properties
> - only configs that are available through ConfigurationAdmin should be
> available
> - the HTTP urls should have friendly names
> - (Optional) the implementation should be general enough to be used for other
> configs other than replication if needed
> For example: a configuration with name publish for
> org.apache.sling.replication.agent.impl.ReplicationAgentServiceFactory
> should be mapped to /etc/replication/agent/publish
> Problems with current implementation of JCR nodes created by JCR installed:
> - Configuration files are read and created from /apps/.../config or
> /libs/.../config, and there is no easy way to determine which are active in
> the ConfigurationAdmin
> - There is no way to restrict a repository path to create only configuration
> from a specified factory (making it unusable with relaxed ACLs)
> - The url of a configuration is unfriendly (it contains the fully qualified
> name of the factory)
> - The node types are not homogenous making it hard to use in a client
> application (some are nt:file, some are sling:OsgiConfig)
