Hello,
I would like to share with you the concerns I have about the clone, move
and copy methods (Workspace class).
When copying a node, these methods don't return the modified/created
node, though it would be very convenient, especially when the node you
copied was created with the same name sibling option.
Let's take an example : I have the following structure.
content
|
+ articles
|
+ item
+ item
+ item
+ item
+ item (this is the node I want to copy to content/articles/item)
When I copy the last node to content/articles/item (so the name of the
new name is the same as the old one), it's tricky to retreive the newly
added node. Reading the specifications, I find out that the new node is
created after my last item (so item[5], in my example).
So my code would look like :
// 1. Compute the total number of item
// In my example, n = 5
// 2. Copy my node
// 3. Return the n+1 th node
But in case I have multiple JCR sessions active in the same time, it is
possible to have a other new node added (by another session) and saved
between steps 2 and 3. And thus, in step 3, I have n=7 nodes under
articles, and the method would not return the right node.
Do you think that makes sense ?
What do you think about the copy/clone/move methods returning the
created/modified node ?

Bertrand.
