             Summary: Jcr Installer Provider only supports storing array values for OSGi Component Properties but not java.util.Vector
                 Key: SLING-4183
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4183
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Installer
    Affects Versions: JCR Installer 3.1.8
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus


The OSGi Compendium 4.3.0, $105.14.3.13 defines two storage formats for multivalue entries: one is vector and the other one is array.

As long as a configuration is maintained via the Felix Webconsole, it will stick to the data format being given in the metatype manifest (through the cardinality attribute).
If the JCR Installer is used to deploy the OSGi configuration it will always use array, in case the property is a multivalue property in the JCR (https://github.com/apache/sling/blob/trunk/installer/providers/jcr/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/installer/provider/jcr/impl/ConfigNodeConverter.java#L99)

In the best case the JCR Installer should evaluate the metatype manifest as well. Or it should support {{Vector}}s through some special prefix on a multivalue property name.
