Hello,
Our product is build on top of Jackrabbit since the early days (20
years
now!), and I'm in the very beginning of the process of testing the
migration to Oak.
We currently rely on two features which I don't find in oak:
- multiple workspaces. It has been discussed many times here. I
suppose that the solution is to actually have as many oak
repositories
as there was Jackrabbit workspaces ? It comes with a little overhead,
but I suppose I can live with that. Or are there a better known
solution?
- NodeImpl#addNodeWithUuid. In my multiple workspaces scenario, I
need
that "corresponding" nodes have the same UUIDs, and the Jackrabbit
methods works perfectly in that scenario. Is there a replacement in
Oak
? I could also come with a PR adding the same method in oak's
NodeImpl,
as well as another helper in TreeUtil#addChild to help creating a
Node
with a given UUID. What do you think ?
I am not close to Oak core development, but it looks like your second
question assumes multiple workspaces, right? If you migrate your
application to Oak you will not have the same UUID for multiple nodes
in the same workspace so linking between nodes will have to be done
differently.
I think it boils down to why you currently use workspaces and how you
could replace those with standard Oak approaches.
Multiple repositories is one option. Different sub-trees is another
approach.
Thanks,
Robert
Thanks for your answer.
Yes, you're right, there's more than one approach. But in my case, the
option "one JR workspace become one Oak repo" will certainly be the best
match.
I actually posted this message on the dev list for the second point and
my need to somehow "force" the UUID at creation time. This is actually
already done when using the XML ImportHandler, so my proposal would be
to add a NodeImpl#addNodeWithUuid, juste like Jackrabbit 2
I may propose a PR, and even merge it, but I didn't exercise my
committer rights since a very long time, and never in Oak, so I prefer
to ask before!
