[jira] Updated: (JCR-309) Extract the public API interfaces from o.a.j.core to o.a.j.api

Jukka Zitting updated JCR-309:
------------------------------

    Attachment: jackrabbit-api.patch

Attached a patch for creating public interfaces for RepositoryImpl.shutdown() and WorkspaceImpl.createWorkspace(String). Does this look OK? If so, I'll go ahead and commit it.

I also investigated the options for doing the same to node type registration. Exposing the current NodeTypeManagerImpl.getNodeTypeRegistry().registerNodeTypes(Collection) method will require also the *Def interfaces (optionally also the *DefImpl classes) to be exposed. This will also bring a dependency to the QName class. Is it OK to expose so much (essentially promising that they will not change much before Jackrabbit 2.0) or should we create an alternative like NodeTypeManagerImpl.registerNodeTypes(InputStream)?

> To better document and track the public JCR extensions and component API provided by Jackrabbit and to allow more room for refactoring within the Jackrabbit core, we shoud move (or create) the supported API interfaces to a new org.apache.jackrabbit.api package.
> At least the following interfaces should be moved along with any supporting implementation-independent classes:
>     * PersistenceManager
>     * FileSystem
>     * AccessManager
>     * QueryHandler
>     * TextFilter
> Possible dependencies to implementation-specific classes should preferably be abstracted using extra interfaces.
> Also the workspace and node type administration methods should be published as Jackrabbit-specific extensions to the JCR API interfaces.
