Use expanded form for Path.getString()
--------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2154
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2154
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-spi
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha1
Reporter: Tobias Bocanegra
Fix For: 2.0.0
Currently the internal string representation of a path consists of extended
path segments which are tab (\t) delimited.
since JCR2.0, JCR input names can also be specified in an expanded form (see
JCR 2.0, 3.2.5.1).
i think it would make sense to use the expanded form also for internal string
representation of paths, which is defined by the spec, is more natural and more
readable
current:
{} {http://www.apache.org/jackrabbit/test}testPath
suggested:
/{http://www.apache.org/jackrabbit/test}testPath
of course, the PathFactory needs to be backward compatible, since the path
property values are persisted in the current toString() representation.
if this is too much of a change, or if there are any valid reasons why the
tab-delimited form is needed, we should at least add a new method to Path:
String getExpandedString()
that returns the expanded form representation of the path.
