Remapping the default namespace
-------------------------------
Key: JCR-241
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-241
Project: Jackrabbit
Type: Wish
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.0
I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature or standard behaviour, but currently it
is not possible to remap the default namespace to some other prefix. The
following code throws a NamespaceException:
session.setNamespacePrefix("foo", "");
At least the Session.setNamespacePrefix() javadoc doesn't seem to prohibit
changing the prefix of the default namespace and I couldn't find anything more
specific in the JCR specification document. Restrictions are only placed on
remapping the xml namespace.
Note that the current nodetype code is actually relying on the default
namespace being mapped to the empty prefix, so changing this would require
small changes there as well.
I haven't really run into any cases where I'd have needed such functionality,
but it would be nice to clarify this issue.
