Hi Tobias,
Most importantly: thanks for taking the time to reply :-)
I have 2 remaining questions:
1/ It seems (to me, at least) unefficient to have to do this at every
time you get a session, no? (as this is code that is passed every time
you get a session) Is there a way to "init" a session once and for all
so that every next call to it can assume this work is done instead of
having to check every other time it is done?
you have to register your custom types once, just like you have to
create your custom tables in an rdbms once.
JackrabbitNodeTypeManager.registerNodeTypes(InputStream, String)
provides an easy and convenient way of registering your custom node types
incl. any referenced namespaces, e.g.
JackrabbitNodeTypeManager manager = (JackrabbitNodeTypeManager)
session.getWorkspace().getNodeTypeManager();
manager.registerNodeTypes(new FileInputStream("mytypes.cnd"),
JackrabbitNodeTypeManager.TEXT_X_JCR_CND);
2/ Why do you explicitely (again) do the
"s.setNamespacePrefix("myapp", "http://your.com/ns/1";);" as you not
only registered the NS, but also provide the NS (myapp) in your call
on the next line: "s.getRootNode().getNode("myapp:someNode");"
Is it necessary?
namespaces in JCR are modelled after XML namespaces. for more information
please refer to sections 4.5 and 6.3 in the jsr 170 specification.

Thanks in advance,
Wolf
