Konrad Windszus commented on JCRVLT-733:
----------------------------------------
One possibility is to combine that with the node types used for validation
outlined at JCRVLT-619. Another one is to extend the filter.xml to allow the
enforcement of ancestor node types there.
> Allow to enforce ancestor primary and mixin type

> Key: JCRVLT-733
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCRVLT-733
> Project: Jackrabbit FileVault
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently it is impossible to enforce a type for an uncovered ancestor node:
> https://jackrabbit.apache.org/filevault/filter.html#Uncovered_ancestor_nodes.
> Existing nodes are never touched, and therefore might have an incompatible
> type which prevent the actual child node installation.
> The workaround outlined e.g. at JCRVLT-403 is to leverage include patterns
> which override the full ancestor node (but not arbitrary children). This
> might also destroy other properties though (apart from types).
> This is necessary whenever two packages might contribute to subtrees sharing
> a common ancestor. There is often no dependent package which just provides
> the common ancestor (as that would also overwrite the full subtree).
