[jira] [Commented] (JCR-3222) Allow servlet filters to specify
custom session providers
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3222?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13194074#comment-13194074 ]
Felix Meschberger commented on JCR-3222:
----------------------------------------
Unfortunately this is a compiled library and I cannot see, what's changed ....
But then, somehow this feels like official Reflection Programming ....
How about using OSGi services ?
(0) The DavexServletService is already registered as a Servlet service for Whiteboard Http Service registration
(1) We could add a contextId configuration which could be configured to refer to a HttpContext service used by the Whiteboard registration
(2) Support a SessionProvider service providing pluggability
Sling (or other OSGi based use cases) could then just provide the missing pieces.
Will provide a proposed patch.

> In order to integrate the Jackrabbit davex server functionality with their custom authentication logic, the Sling project currently needs to embed and subclass the davex servlet classes. It would be cleaner if such tight coupling wasn't needed.
> One way to achieve something like that would be to allow external components to provide a custom SessionProvider instance as an extra request attribute. This way for example a servlet filter that implements such custom authentication logic could easily make its functionality available to the standard davex servlet in Jackrabbit.
