JSR-283: mix:created/mix:lastModified - auto-set but allow modification for
imports
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JCR-2233
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2233
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-core, JCR 2.0
Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.0.0
Following the discussion in JCR-2116, I propose it would be a good idea to have
jcr:created, jcr:createdBy (from mix:created) and jcr:lastModified,
jcr:lastModifiedBy (mix:lastModified) not protected, but still automatically
set those properties in case they were not modified by the client.
Three advantages:
a) This allows for importing content with these properties, where eg. the
jcr:created should point to the original creation date of the content, not when
it was imported.
b) Same for jcr:lastModified, which often must be set manually for ensuring
correct behaviour when doing synchronizations etc.
c) In order to take advantage of the automatically-set behaviour mentioned in
the spec, it would be nice if the repository would set them in the case the
client is not writing those properties. This way you can ensure the properties
are correctly set when you cannot control all client-code modifying the content
(eg. webdav).
Question: would this be in line with the spec? I would say, yes, since we say
we don't implement "protected", which is allowed, but add a hybrid approach
(which is not explicitly forbidden, IIUC).
For the reference, here is the definition from the latest JSR-283 doc:
[mix:lastModified] mixin
- jcr:lastModified (DATE) autocreated protected? OPV?
- jcr:lastModifiedBy (STRING) autocreated protected? OPV?
[mix:created] mixin
- jcr:created (DATE) autocreated protected? OPV?
- jcr:createdBy (STRING) autocreated protected? OPV?
And here is the current cnd definition in JR 2.0:
