[SLING-2477] Configuration via sling:OsgiConfig nodes does not support all types

• Type: Bug

Description

Most notably, the common "service.ranking" needs to be an Integer, while the jcr property mapping only allows for "Long" types at the moment. The problem is that JCR has a smaller set of property types than the OSGi config admin (JCR: String, Boolean, Long, Double, Decimal; OSGi: String, Boolean, Long, Integer, Float, Double, and probably more differences...).

Similarly to properties files (which do it in the value like 'service.ranking=I"-10000"' with I=Integer), there must be a way to explicitly specify the type regardless of the JCR type. For example, encoding it in the property name like "service.ranking

{int}

".
