Re: [RT] Updates to the provisioning model

[Robert Munteanu]

Hi Carsten,

Thanks for the extensive write-up, it took some time to digest :-)

I have a couple of questions based on who we currenly can (or can't)
use the provisioning model.

1. How can we add comments to a feature or application json file? AFAIK
JSON does not allow comments

2. Reading the section on configuration merging, it is not clear to me
if merging is merging of values or overriding of values.

Consider


feature 1:

com.foo.bar.Service
  prop1="A"
  prop2="B"

feature 2:

com.foo.bar.Service
  prop1="C"


After the merge, will the configuration define the prop2 property? 


3. How are floating-point values represented? We had some issues with
the provisioning model, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING
-5914 .

Ideally we'd be able to specify a value of "5.5" have have it work
instead of the internal config admin formats.

Thanks,

Robert
