Improve jcr decorator in jcr-ext
--------------------------------

         Key: JCR-256
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-256
     Project: Jackrabbit
        Type: Improvement
    Reporter: Marcel Reutegger
    Priority: Minor


The jcr decorator in jcr-ext does not cover all the necessary interfaces of the 
jcr api. It may happen that a client loses the decoration layer when accessing 
properties.

I've added decoration for several jcr interfaces to ensure that the decoration 
layer is never left.

The attached patch also removes the classes related to decorator chaining. I 
found it hard to understand the purpose of those classes and decided to remove 
them from the default implementation. If we want to keep those classes they 
should be less intrusive.

I've also noticed that there are class name clashes, specifically the package 
org.apache.jackrabbit.name contains classes that are also present in the 
jackrabbit and jackrabbit-commons jar file. I propose to move the respective 
classes in jcr-ext to a different package or remove them in favor of the 
jackrabbit-commons classes.

Let me know if I should commit the the patch.

Thanks
