---------------------------------
Summary: Allow artifact providers that work with URLs instead of
Files
Key: SLING-8421
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-8421
Project: Sling
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Feature Model
Affects Versions: Feature Model IO 1.0.2, Feature Model Launcher 1.0.2
Reporter: Karl Pauls
Assignee: Karl Pauls
Fix For: Feature Model IO 1.0.2, Feature Model Launcher 1.0.4
The way we set-up the feature io (and subsequently, the way the launcher
currently uses it) there is a build-in assumption that artifacts are available
as local files. While that makes some sense there are scenarios where it would
be more efficient to not require them to be Files unless it is really needed.
We should make it possible for a provider to hand out URLs instead of Files and
prefer to use those URLs where possible as a File can be easily accessed via a
URL but the reverse is not true without locally buffering the URL content as a
File.
