-------------------------------------
Summary: Define API to retrieve parent or null for a given Item
Key: OAK-9613
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9613
Project: Jackrabbit Oak
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jackrabbit-api, jcr
Reporter: Angela Schreiber
as discussed in SLING-10011 it would be desirable to allow for retrieval of a
Item's parent without having to deal with the exceptions that are thrown by
{{Item.getParent()}} in case the parent does not exist or is not accessible.
I would like to suggest to introduce {{JackrabbitSession.getParentOrNull(Item
item)}}, which would return a {{Node}} or null. For backwards compatibility the
new method should come with a default implementation that calls
{{Item.getParent()}} and returns null in case of {{AccessDeniedException}} as
it is thrown by _oak-jcr_ if there is no parent (either root node or no
accessible).
