Session.impersonate non-functional
----------------------------------
Key: JCR-72
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-72
Project: Jackrabbit
Type: Bug
Components: API
Environment: Jackrabbit SVN Rev. 157914
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Priority: Critical
Currently SessionImpl.impersonate simply calls Repository.login with the given
credentials and the workspace name of the session. If the credentials are
incomplete in that the password is missing, the method throws a
"LoginException: Failed to authenticate userID", which is actually a misleading
text, as the reason is not failure to authenticate userID but at best that the
session has not enough access rights to impersonate as userID.
For my application, it is crucial, that Session.impersonate is implemented in
the sense that this method allows creation of a session with password-less
credentials. I accept this method to fail, but it should fail with a correct
message.
