Hi

I have two questions re the JCR Block

1) How can one actually access the content of properties?



You cannot access them directly with the JCRNodeSource, which is meant to represent file-like abstractions which are mapped to nodes.


wouldn't it make sense to actually implement this for JCR source?
I mean extend it to JCR properties.

Now such a source, you can get the corresponding Node and then do whatever you want with it.


yes, I can list all nodes by using the TraversableGenerator, but I think it
would make sense it the the JCR Source in combination with the "FileGenerator"
would allow to get the content of a JCR property, e.g.

<property name="" value="">
....
</property>


2) I don't fully understand how lastModified is being handled.
  From looking at the implementation it seems to me that only
"content nodes" can have a lastModified, but I probably misunderstand
something, right?



The idea here is that the node holding the content also holds the property that gives the last modification. The distinction between file node and content node is more a point of view, and a given node should be able to have both roles.


nodes which don't have the content role, but maybe are just a "collection" should
also have a last modified, because they might received a new child, right.

It seems to me otherwise for instance the TraversableGenerator won't reread the node show the new children, or am I confusing something.

Thanks

Michi
