wouldn't there be issues importing content with names escaped in this manner?
in other words, if i tried to import a node with _xHHHH_ in its name,
wouldn't the import mechanism convert that to an illegal character,
causing an exception to be thrown when the node is saved?
no, the result of an escape operation is always a valid jcr name. no
matter what you feed in!
e.g. if you had something like:
My Documents
now we have an application that already escapes that name to:
My_x0020_Documents
importing such a name will escape the sequence _x0020_ again because the
spec says:
The underscore character (“_”), when appearing as literal, is itself
escaped if it is followed by xHHHH where H is one of the following
characters: 0123456789abcdefABCDEF.
finally the name in the repository will be:
My_x005f_x0020_Documents
If you export that again, the name is unescaped and you will get:
My_x0020_Documents
-> exactly what you imported.
