Dear Apache Sling Team, Jackrabbit Oak has internal dependencies on the org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.api.ContentRepository service. For instance, the registration of org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.spi.security.authentication.external.impl.jmx.SynchronizationMBean will not occur if a ContentRepository service is unavailable (see link <https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/b5c317af752b3c421c9d341a7cfca407dff29af5/oak-auth-external/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/spi/security/authentication/external/impl/ExternalLoginModuleFactory.java#L203-L206> ).
However, the sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-oak-server bundle, which is responsible for repository initialization and initializes the ContentRepository object, does not register it as a ContentRepository service type. What are your thoughts on changing this as demonstrated in my proof of concept: link <https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-oak-server/compare/master...ciechanowiec:sling-org-apache-sling-jcr-oak-server:poc-content-repo-registration>? The change appears to be very simple, and I can submit a pull request once I receive confirmation that it is worth considering. Kind regards, Herman Ciechanowiec her...@ciechanowiec.eu
