Roy T. Fielding commented on JCR-241: ------------------------------------- oops, reading backward it seems like the original question was confusing. I think what Jukka wants is to change an existing prefix "foo" to the empty prefix "", not to set the URI of the namespace to "". > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
