SystemSession
Is it possible to obtain an instance of a SystemSession in any way?

Ok, I'll try that approach.
There's no way to get a TransientRepository instance from repository
configuration specified in the deployment descriptor? Would be kind of
handy if I could construct one taking an existing repository as
argument.

what i meant is:
- provide a custom LoginModule implementation that associates
'special' system credentials with a special 'System' subject.
- provide a custom AccessManager implementation that knows
of the specials 'System' Subject and assigns access rights accordingly.
- modify your jackrabbit configuration to use your custom LoginModule
and AccessManager
- connect to your newly configured repository and pass your special
system credentials (whatever those might be)

How do I get a reference to a repository in either of those to do a
special "system" login? The repository config file and home directory is
confiugred in the deployment descriptor, so unaccessible in my code. The
AMContext holds a reference to the jackrabbit home directory, but not
the configuration file reference, thus I cannot instantiate a
TransientRepository.

no, SystemSessions is for jackrabbit-internal use only.
however, you can easily create a omni-potent session by
using a custom LoginModule/AccessManager implementation.
