Hi,
OAK-4567 introduces a new oak:Resource nodetype as an alternative to
nt:resource which has mix:referenceable.
I understand the idea of making that node non-referencable for
performance reasons, but why is nt:resource referenceable in the first
place?
builtin_nodetypes.cnd [1] has this definition
[nt:resource] > mix:mimeType, mix:lastModified, mix:referenceable
primaryitem jcr:data
- jcr:data (BINARY) mandatory
but the JCR spec (JSR 283 10 August 2009) only has
[nt:resource] > mix:mimeType, mix:lastModified
primaryitem jcr:data
- jcr:data (BINARY) mandatory
Introducing a new nodetype leaks into applications, removing the
default mix:referenceable mixin on nt:resource would be much simpler
(at the cost of a migration tool probably), and people can always
re-add the mixin if they really need it.
WDYT?
