Yes, you are right. JCR-RMI provides the client with adapter instances that implement the standard JCR interfaces but does not expose more features of the underlying server classes. It would be possible possible to extend the JCR-RMI interfaces to extend the public Jackrabbit extension interfaces in org.apache.jackrabbit.api, but that would bring in a dependency to Jackrabbit. A better option would perhaps be to make a jackrabbit-rmi extension to JCR-RMI that would use the custom extensions. The AdapterFactory approach in JCR-RMI should even make this relatively painless. You may want to file a feature request about this in Jira. The short term workaround is to do all nodetype management using a local repository instance.
