Validation is only about reading, so there is no problem if the ModifiableValueMap doesn't support relative paths, it would never be used by validation code. IMO the relative paths in the JcrPropertyMap are a great feature (at least for reading). Relative paths are a good invention and shorten the code a lot. Cheers, Alex
