Configuration support for multi-tenant use cases
All there,
We are trying to host multiple tenants on the same sling instance and trying
to figure out how we could have OOTB configuration support this model
where-in a service is not just run-mode aware but tenant aware as well since
one tenant could have different configurations than another. Has anybody
done something similar in past and how did they resolve this?
Also I tried to use the configuration factory where-in I tried to give
unique identifier on the tenant name, supposing Sling will give me an api to
give me correct configuration after supplying tenant name as an attribute.
This was also not successful since the tenant name was converted into
something on the fly.
Appreciate all the help here!

Best is to create a [PATCH] ticket at
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING (you might need to ask for
write access here with your username first) and attach your code as an
svn patch.
Non-core contributions go under /contrib in our codebase, and we can
always adjust the location when we integrate the contribution.
It's good to file an iCLA if you expect to contribute substantial
amounts of code, see https://www.apache.org/licenses/icla.txt

Thanks Carsten, so helpful.
Could you please let me know the process (point me if this is documented somewhere) of contributing back to Sling? We might want to add this feature not in Sling core but only in Sling extensions.
Thanks,

Thanks Carsten for the response. We had thought about the same approach but
calculating the configuration every time using this way did not seem good to
us and we happened to define a config node (for example config.xyz) and then
used configadmin to pick this up. This seems easier to manage also since
developer could easily find out configuration file and doesn't need to
traverse so many configuration entries to first figure out which is for a
tenant which he was looking for. This is working well so far however IMO
Sling should have some support for this feature too. What do you say and I
will open a Jira?

There is no OOTB support in Sling, I think others have build something
on top of it.
For factory configurations you might add a special property, e.g. named
"tenant" with the value of the tenant in that configuration. When
getting the configuration you can use the listConfigurations method and
filter using this property.
Not sure if this is the best solution, just saying that it would work :)

Carsten

please note that there is also an ongoing contribution of wcm.io Configuration [1] to Apache Sling [2].
this process has started just now, so it will take some time until it will be released.
if you are using AEM you could directly go with [1] for the time being.

I experimented with tenant-based dynamic search paths for Sling
scripts last year at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4386
This basically allows resources from different subtrees to be
processed by different versions of Sling scripts, which might in turn
select different services.
There are probably a number of unwanted side effects in this
experimental code (script caching comes to mind) but the concepts
might help for your case.
