Thanks Marcel. I've found the class but at a different path: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/ISO9075.java However, I've seen that internally it relies on Jackrabbit qname implementation - is there any way to remove this dependency? I need to the code to use only JCR api (javax.jcr) code.
