    Description

      bdelacretaz, while working on SLING-10274 kpauls noticed that repo-init parser doesn't support aggregated privilege names with namespace prefix.

      Looking at the parser I found that the handling of privileges seems to be inconsistent:

      1. Register Privileges

      the parser defines this as follows:

          <REGISTER> ((<ABSTRACT>) {isAbstract = true;})? <PRIVILEGE> (privilege = <STRING> | privilege = <NAMESPACED_ITEM>) (<WITH> aggregates = principalsList())?
      

      -> privilege name can be a STRING or a NAMESPACED_ITEM (that's correct ()
      -> aggregates is a principalList??? that's quite odd and obviously not correct.... aggregates can again be a list of STRING and/or NAMESPACED_ITEM ()

      2. Using Registered Privileges in AC-lines

      line.setProperty(AclLine.PROP_PRIVILEGES is always populated with the result of namespacedItemsList()

      -> if my reading is correct that means that only NAMESPACED_ITEM can be used as privilege names, which is not correct because a privilege name can be any valid JCR name, with or without namespace prefix. ()

      3. Summary and Suggested Fix

      this can easily be illustrated by slightly adjusting the test-*.txt (see attachment).
      the fix should IMHO be 2-fold:

      • allow aggregated privilege names to be STRING or NAMESPACED_ITEM
      • allow privilege names in AC-line to be STRING or NAMESPACED_ITEM in accordance to the register privilege call.
