             Summary: Simplify AbstractSlingRepository implementation
                 Key: SLING-3384
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-3384
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: JCR
    Affects Versions: JCR Base 2.1.2, JCR Jackrabbit Server 2.1.0
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger
            Assignee: Felix Meschberger


With the introduction of the SlingRepository.loginService method the existing setup of the AbstractSlingRepository became quite complex in that it hacks in a SlingRepository proxy to be able to register the SlingRepository as a service and implement the new method.

An additional problem of the AbstractSlingRepository class is that it expects the implementation to be implemented using Declarative Services. While this was simple and easy in the beginning it created a runtime dependency which does not go well with the OSGi framework.

So, I propose to create a new couple of (abstract) classes which simplify the setup and implementation of SlingRepository services.

Another "feature" of the original AbstractSlingRepository base class was access to "foreign" repositories as well as repository pinging which turns out to be functionality not being usefull in an abstract base class. Rather this would be something in an actual implementation which knows how to deal with such pre-existing "foreign" repository instances.
