JCR commit

I'd like to congratulate Janne on his checkin of the JCR code. It, and  
the from-scratch Priha implementation that underpins it, are  
remarkable achievements. Nice work!

Yes, there are bunches of tests that need fixing. But that's ok. We'll  
fix 'em.

My own next batch of checkins will include a rewritten Edit.jsp and  
attachment uploads, including (for the first time) multiple  
attachments. This is implemented using ActionBeans, and it means  
AttachmentServlet's days are numbered. :)

For example, ImagePlugin could instantiate a  
DynamicAttachmentProvider, then generate a thumbnail and dump it to  
the DynamicAttachmentProvider, without it actually ending up in the  
repository and polluting it.

Dynamic Attachments don't show in the RecentChanges or when listing  
page attachments, but they are accessible via the /attach/ URL and are  
subject to all ACL restrictions of the parent page, just like a  
regular attachment would.

It is a generic (and fairly simple) way of allowing components to  
create Wiki content on-the-fly.  However, at the moment it's limited  
to Attachments only - it could be any WikiPage. For example, you could  
have dynamic templates (e.g. when creating new page content),  
thumbnails or PDF generation done fairly easily with this mechanism.

It's been around 2.6, but I don't think anyone's using it much. I've  
been meaning to but haven't had the chance yet.

Dynamic-anything is usually a pretty bad name. What do DynamicAttachments do?

Oh goody, then I don't have to worry about fixing any issues with it :-D

(BTW, anybody want to take the job of turning DynamicAttachments into  
something more generic?)
