Description

While using jackrabbit in managed environment like Sling, Spring etc
its easy for other components to access the Repository service.
However its tricky to use managed components of those env within
Jackrabbit as it creates the instances on its own. To simplify such
integration it would be helpful if JR exposes a factory service which
is used to create the various beans from the JR configuration.

See http://markmail.org/message/johbo2dnepwtjogm for Chetan's initial proposal and POC implementation.
