Stefan Egli created OAK-5021: -------------------------------- Summary: Improve observation of files Key: OAK-5021 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-5021 Project: Jackrabbit Oak Issue Type: Improvement Components: jcr Affects Versions: 1.5.12 Reporter: Stefan Egli Assignee: Stefan Egli
(Originally reported as JCR-4046, but moved to Oak as a result of introducing the OakEventFilter in OAK-5013. From the original description: ) A file in JCR is represented by at least two nodes, the nt:file node and a child node named jcr:content holding the contents of the file (and metadata). This has the consequence that if the contents of a file changes, a change event of the jcr:content node is reported - but not of the nt:file node. This makes creating listeners listening for changes in files complicated, as you can't use the file name to filter - especially with glob patterns (see JCR-4044 - now OAK-5019) this becomes troublesome. In addition, whenever you get a change for a jcr:content node, you have to check if the parent is a nt:file node and decide based on the result. It would be great to have a flag on the JackrabbitEventFilter to enable smarter reporting just for nt:files: if a property on jcr:content is changed, a change to the nt:file node is reported.
