> Users will generally be managed in the JCR Repository. When using the Jackrabbit Repository the user's storage node can be accessed by the ItemBasedPrincipal backing the User.
> Since the implementation of the user's location is configuration or even implementation dependent there is no easy way to create a correct URL to the user's home location.
> To fix this, we should implementat functionality to give easy access to the user's home location at a canonical URL (and thus Resource) such as /~userid or /users/userid.
> The simplest implementation probably is using a ResourceProvider properly configured which does:
>   * the user ID is part of the path given to the ResourceProvider.getResource method
>   * adapt ResourceResolver to the Session of the authenticated user
>   * --> no resource if no Session
>   * Get the User from the UserManager
>   * Get the Principal from the User
>   * --> no resource If the Principal is not an ItemBasedPrincipal 
>   * get the path from the ItemBasedPrincipal
>   * retrieve the item through the user's own session (to apply access control)
>   * use the AdapterManager to adapt the Item to a Resource
>   * --> return the Resource
