Sling over RMI

[Lars Trieloff]

Hi,

I am trying to connect Sling to a remote CRX (Day's commercial-grade  
content repository, based on Jackrabbit) repository and it seems like  
I have some problems with the Sling Authenticator.

After uninstalling the embedded JCR repository and pointing the  
Foreign JCR repository configuration to my RMI location I can verify  
in the debugger that SlingClientRepository is able to acquire the  
repository reference. The Repository Pinger reports success.

However, the SlingAuthenticator is unable to verify my credentials (or  
the anonymous login) because it tries to get hold of a repository but  
inspecting the repositoryTracker reveals that it tracks not a single  
repository and subsequently returns null.

My suspicion is that removing the embedded JCR repository bundle  
decreases the tracker counter, but the tracker is unable to switch to  
the foreign repository. So my question would be: is there a way to  
tell the SlingAuthenticator to look again for repositories?

best regards,

Lars
