> Currently, the sling-content-jcr bundle has a ContentManagerFactory implementation (the JcrContentHelper, used to access Sling ContentManager instances), which listens for bundles being registered and registers node types registered in the bundles and loads initial content stored in those bundles. Additionally, this class cares to setup the Sling ContentManager instances used to access the OCM functionality.
> While working on the sling-event bundle, we discovered a race condition with node type registration and repository use. To overcome this race condition, we propose to move the node type registration part from the ContentManagerFactory implementation to the AbstractSlingRepository class in the sling-jackrabbit-api bundle. This class is the base class for services registered to provide the repository. As such, this class has contact to the repository before the service is registered or made available to the users of the repository.
> Some background information on the race condition: The JcrContentHelper is implemented as an OSGi Component and requires a repository and as such will only be activated when the repository is available. The AbstractRepositoryEventHandler in the sling-event bundle also requires a repository and is also implemented as an OSGi component. When now both components are waiting for a repository to become available, the AbstractRepositoryEventHandler may be activated before the JcrContentHelper is activated and therefore, the node types required by the AbstractRepositoryEventHandler are not available yet as the JcrContentHandler was not able yet to register them ...
