Hi Dan,
While googling for more info on Jackrabbit's search capability, I came across this message by Marcel Reutegger on Aug 2005: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02366.html One of the facts outlined by Marcel is that "joins in SQL are not supported in jackrabbit". Is this still the case as of Jackrabbit 1.0.1? Another question is, what is the best way to do something like node.getNodes(NodeType), which returns only those child nodes of specified nodeType (or subtypes of given type)?
In some cases where I had users ask for functionality like this, it sometimes was rooted in a suboptimal content model. Of course nobody can be blamed, since I guess we all remember our first relational data model before reading any books or getting any education on how to build scalable and efficient datamodels (which in the case of JCR is currently not really possible)
Do you mind sharing your content model and use case? This may help us understand what people are trying to achieve with JCR and roll some of that experience into future revisions of the specification and implementation. regards, david
