             Summary: Clarify Job Topic Validity Rules
                 Key: SLING-11798
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-11798
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Site
            Reporter: Dan Klco
            Assignee: Dan Klco


Our [documentation on Sling Jobs|https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/apache-sling-eventing-and-job-handling.html#jobs-guarantee-of-processing-1] mentions that:
{quote}The job topic follows the conventions for the topic of an OSGi event.
{quote}
Which, after finding and reviewing the relevant documentation:
[https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.cmpn/7.0.0/service.event.html#d0e46909]
[https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.core/7.0.0/ch01.html#framework.general.syntax]

One could determine means a string which:

 - Does not start or end with a slash
 - Contains only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, dash, and slash characters
 - Does not contain double slashes

However, it would be more convenient for users of Apache Sling to document the rules on the Jobs page for easy reference and to indicate that attempting to add a Job with an invalid topic with JobManager#addJob will return null.
