Vault API to import ACL with mergePreserve/merge acHandling

[Nitin Nizhawan <ni...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,


We are using JcrPackageManager[0] interface to import packages containing
content as well as ACLs (rep:policy). We also specify different acHandling
(merge, mergePreserve etc.) for different use cases.


Now we want to import just ACLs on a given node prgramatically. Since, this
node may already have some ACLs so we need ACL merge strategies similar to
merge/mergePreserve/overwrite.


One way would be to build a package with specified ACLs and path and then
use JcrPackageManager but this approach has too many side effects and a lot
of overhead.

Other approach would be copy code from [1] but we would like avoid any such
code duplication.


Is there an API in filevault which would allow us to reuse logic in [1]
with minimal overhead?
