Hi all,
There is a list of nodetypes available here:
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/NodeTypeRegistry
However, there does not seem to be any definition of those nodetypes,
nor how to apply them.
the page you're refering to contains descriptions of some wellknown
node types, the built-in node types defined by jsr 170, node types used
by jackrabbit internally and some application specific node types.
those node types are usually pre-installed, there's no need to 'deploy' them.
There is 'knowledge' of nodetypes
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/doc/nodetype/index.html, but there are two
ways to define them (XML and CND), and no description of how to deploy
them (assumption is under /repository/nodetypes).
the assumption is wrong ;-) you can either build node type definitions
programmatically using jackrabbit api methods or define them in
either xml or cnd format. you have to register your node type definitions
programmatically, e.g.
JackrabbitNodeTypeManager ntMgr =
(JackrabbitNodeTypeManager) wsp.getNodeTypeManager();
ntMgr.registerNodeTypes(new FileInputStream("/foo/mytypes.cnd"),
JackrabbitNodeTypeManager.TEXT_X_JCR_CND);
There is an example in SVN under
/applications/test/repository/nodetypes, and that one is an XML
definition.
Is XML nodetype configuration under /repository/nodetypes the
recommended, non-coded approach to add custom properties that could then
be searched on via xpath/sql?
quite the contrary, manipulating those files directly is strictly discouraged!
the only recommended approach unfortunately involves a minimal amount of
coding, see above example.
