Spi2Dav / 283 Conflict: Creation of PropertyInfoImpl fails with NPE if the 
returned ItemInfo points to a Node
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JCR-1616
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1616
             Project: Jackrabbit
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: angela


jcr-server and jcr2spi do not deal properly with the following 283 
functionality 

- property and node siblings can have the same name

this results in NPE upon creation of a PropertyInfoImpl from time to time:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2dav.PropertyInfoImpl.<init>(PropertyInfoImpl.java:62)
        at 
org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2dav.RepositoryServiceImpl.getPropertyInfo(RepositoryServiceImpl.java:914)

this issue cannot be fix by checking the value of the 
ItemResourceConstants.JCR_TYPE.
instead a fix MUST include cover both jcr-server and jcr2spi and deal with the 
fact that there are
nodes/properties with the same name. consequently a different URI must be 
created for them
in order to have the server/client properly deal with the requests/responses.

since there are currently no plans for upgrading SPI and spi2dav in particular 
to jcr 283 this issue
acts as a reminder.
