Class SlingSessionProvider

java.lang.Object

org.apache.sling.jcr.webdav.impl.helper.SlingSessionProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.apache.jackrabbit.server.SessionProvider

public class SlingSessionProvider
extends Object
implements org.apache.jackrabbit.server.SessionProvider

The SlingSessionProvider is a Jackrabbit WebDAV server SessionProvider which returns the session stored as the javax.jcr.Session request attribute. This request attribute is set by the Sling Authenticator when the request is authenticated. If the request is not authenticated, the request attribute is not set and hence no session is returned.

This class expects an authenticated request, which is identified by the request authentication type to not be null. Otherwise the getSession(HttpServletRequest, Repository, String) method throws a LoginException to force authentication.
