Because you can copy/merge nodes between workspaces (in this use-case a bit like branches in version control systems), where the UUIDs of copied nodes are the same across workspaces. And thus the root node, which is already "created" by the repository at start, must have the same UUID in multiple workspaces. BTW, in Jackrabbit the root node UUID is always "cafebabe-cafe-babe-cafe-babecafebabe". Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek [email protected]
