does this sound like a parent child relationship?

no. I shouldn't have used the example "mother", "parent", "child" ;-)

or a reference?

that's what I thought first, but IIUC this cannot be used, because
it's basically just a symbolic/soft link, right?

Well, it's really like associations within TopicMaps.

I have currently implemented it by creating a sub-node called "associations"
and then using multi-valued properties for each type of association and
using the UUID strings of the associated nodes for the values.

E.g. a project can be associated with multiple tasks/issues, or a owner/person
can be associated with multiple projects or multiple tast/issues.

But I am sure this could be done a bit more generic ;-)

Maybe it's something for a future verision of JSR-170 ...

Thanks

Hi

I would like to create bi-directional associations between nodes, e.g.

a "JIRA issue" is associated with a "JIRA project/component"

or

a "person" is associated with a "mother" or "father" (is child of OR
has child)

Is there any best practice for doing this within JCR?

It seems to me kind of similar to referencable, but IIUC referencable is
basically a symbolic/soft link and hence cannot be (mis-)used.

Thanks

Michi
