no problem martin, i got it now :-)
let's assume the following:
Property p1 = node1.setProperty("someName", new String[] {"someValue"});
Property p2 = node2.setProperty("someName", "someValue");
the problem is that in system view xml format both properties are
identical, i.e. the 'multiValued' information is not explicitly recorded:
<sv:property sv:name="someName" sv:type="String">
<sv:value>someValue</sv:value>
</sv:property>
if on reimport the parent node's node type contains both single- and
multivalued
definitions that would be applicable the former is taken. nt:unstructured is an
example for a node type containing both single- and multivalued residual
property definitions.
please note that this is not a bug in jackrabbit but a issue of the
system view xml format as specified in 6.4.1 System View XML Mapping
of jsr 170.
