no, since it's an absolute path:
Path ::= AbsolutePath | RelativePath
AbsolutePath ::= '/' [RelativePath] | '[' Identifier ']'
RelativePath ::= [RelativePath '/'] PathSegment ['/']
PathSegment ::= ExpandedName [Index] | QualifiedName [Index] | SelfOrParent
At least could we add the getExpandedString() method and make the PathFormat
aware of it?
> 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.
