Hi all,
using the following code, I am able to update an existing node type by
inserting a new property:
NodeTypeManager nodeTypeManager =
session.getWorkspace().getNodeTypeManager();
NodeType repositoryType = nodeTypeManager.getNodeType("testType");
NodeTypeTemplate repositoryTypeTemplate =
nodeTypeManager.createNodeTypeTemplate(repositoryType);
PropertyDefinitionTemplate testProperty =
nodeTypeManager.createPropertyDefinitionTemplate();
testProperty.setName("testProperty");
testProperty.setRequiredType(PropertyType.STRING);
testProperty.setMandatory(false);
testProperty.setMultiple(false);
testProperty.setDefaultValues(new Value[0]);
testProperty.setValueConstraints(new String[0]);
repositoryTypeTemplate.getPropertyDefinitionTemplates().add(testProperty);
nodeTypeManager.registerNodeType(repositoryTypeTemplate, true);
session.save();
I prefer this way, instead using CND
<https://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/node-type-notation.html> because I
understand it better and is cleaner, compared to having everything inside a
String (am I doing it correctly?).
Because of a bug I was tracking, I found out that, if you invoke this code
several times, it will insert a new property definition each time, so in
the repository you could end up with this (I removed a lot of stuff to keep
it small):

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong, or whether there should be a
validation when inserting property definitions having a name that already
exists...
Any comment is appreciated as always :)
