Launchpad war should optionally use an external Repository, without requiring a 
change of bundles

                 Key: SLING-254
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-254
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Launchpad
            Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz


It would be useful to allow the Launchpad to use an external Repository 
(accessed via JNDI or RMI), without having to modify the war file or 
load/unload bundles.

I'll search for a solution along these lines:

1) Launchpad includes both the jackrabbit-server (embedded repository) and 
jackrabbit-client (access to external repositories via JNDI or RMI) bundles, 
but by default the jackrabbit-client does not provide a Repository.

2) At startup, the Sling class searches the classpath and/or environment for 
additional configuration properties

3) A specific configuration property prevents the jackrabbit-server bundle from 
providing a Repository, and lets the jackrabbit-client provide it.

In this way, the web container could be setup in advance to define which 
Repository to use, and new releases of the launchpad war file could be dropped 
in without requiring any configuration or war file changes.
