Bertrand Delacretaz commented on SLING-2920:
--------------------------------------------
I have played a bit with [~bosschaert]'s service jockey tool and that looks to
me like a nice generic solution for manipulating service properties and/or
hiding services. See https://github.com/bdelacretaz/sling-filters-jockey-poc
for a proof of concept which changes the ordering of some Sling filters.
> Wrong handling of Sling Filter ordering
> ---------------------------------------

> Key: SLING-2920
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2920
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Engine
> Affects Versions: Engine 2.2.8
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: Engine 2.3.4

> Attachments: SLING-2920.patch

>
> It looks like the ordering of Sling Filters is not implemented as it is
> documented on [1].
> The documented intent is:
> * service.ranking ordering with higher numbers being higher preference over
> lower numbers
> * filter.order ordering with lower numbers being higher preference over
> higher numbers
> * filter.order is ignored if service.ranking is defined
> * higher preferenced filters called before lower preferenced filters
> Actual implementation:
> * service.ranking ordering with lower numbers being higher preference over
> higher numbers
> * filter.order ordering with lower numbers being higher preference over
> higher numbers
> * filter.order is ignored if service.ranking is defined
> * higher preferenced filters called before lower preferenced filters
> As one can see, the service.ranking ordering is not properly implemented. It
> looks like this has been wrong since the first implementation as of
> SLING-1735 (Jan 2011).
> We can either live with this actual implementation and fix the documentation
> or fix the implementation at the cost of having to also fix any down-stream
> filter providers using service.ranking values as implemented (and not as
> documented).
