Description

ReplicationRules are a way of signaling ReplicationRequest to external users. However they do take their configuration at the time of handler registration.

We need a concept that is completely configured via OSGI in order to make it accessible via http. We should be able to expose all rules via http in order to trigger replication from events published by a remote instance.

For example the url for a trigger that generates poll requests at a fixed interval will look like this:

http://localhost:4503/libs/sling/replication/services/triggers/scheduledpoll
