hello,
I have been wondering for some time what is expected to be seen when we
call getDefinition on a Node.
The JCR definition is pretty minimal :
"A node definition. Used in node type definitions."
On the Node interface "getDefinition" we have :
"Returns the node definition that applies to this node. In some cases
there may appear to be more than one definition that could apply to this
node. However, it is assumed that upon creation of this node, a single
particular definition was used and it is /that/ definition that this
method returns. How this governing definition is selected upon node
creation from among others which may have been applicable is an
implementation issue and is not covered by this specification. The
|NodeDefinition| returned when this method is called on the root node of
a workspace is also up to the implementation. "
What I don't understand is that the node definition holds information
for the children nodes and the parent node, but not the current node.
The Javadoc is in contradiction since we create nodes by giving a NodeType :
addNode(String relPath,String primaryNodeTypeName)
So what Is expected in the NodeDefinition of a Node ?
thanks for the explications.
