Csaba Varga commented on SLING-3524:
------------------------------------
I've added a [new
commit|https://github.com/csaboka/sling-org-apache-sling-resourceresolver/commit/0f444aa5c6537d480badcf4ca7b2af557f09d48a]
to clear the CLONE key from the authentication info before passing it to the
resource resolver. I hope I've caught all the paths from external clients to
the ResourceResolverImpl constructor. The upside is that now the code has a
central place where new "forbidden properties" can be added as necessary.
> ResourceResolver.clone(null) should not share the same JCR session

> Key: SLING-3524
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3524
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: API, JCR, ResourceResolver
> Affects Versions: Resource Resolver 1.0.6
> Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: API 2.18.2, JCR Resource 3.0.10, Resource Resolver 1.6.2
>
> Time Spent: 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> {{ResourceResolver.clone()}} will reuse the same JCR session in case it was
> created by passing an existing session using
> {{JcrResourceConstants.AUTHENTICATION_INFO_SESSION}}. If you need a clone of
> the resource resolver to pass into a new, separate thread, and use
> {{ResourceResolver.clone(null)}}, you will actually share the session, but
> this is not obvious. The problem is that a JCR session cannot be shared
> across threads.
> The javadocs of clone() say "the same credential data is used as was used to
> create this instance".
> There are a few problems with this:
> - seeing the session object itself as "credential data" is unintuitive
> - in my code, I have no idea what the original credential data was, so I
> don't know what kind of credential data it was to make the right decision
> - since sharing a JCR session is to be avoided at all times, the resource
> resolver should prevent one from this
> A solution would be if a plain {{ResourceResolver.clone(null)}} would return
> a session that impersonated itself, abstracting this from the resource
> resolver user. Additionally, it might be worth looking that clone always
> returns a new session, unless specifically stated.
