Upgraded to jackrabbit 1.3, and I can no longer do

Item item = session.getItem("/nen:content/pages/news/" );

which results in

org.apache.jackrabbit.name.MalformedPathException: Empty path
element: /nen:content/pages/news/

Is there a new limitation that a node path cannot end in / anymore?

afaik trailing slashes are illegal according to the spec (4.6 Path Syntax):

path ::= abspath | relpath
abspath ::= '/' relpath | '/'
relpath ::= pathelement | relpath '/' pathelement
pathelement ::= name | name '[' number ']' | '..' | '.'


so if you were able to pass something like "/foo/bar/" in a previous
release i'd argue that this was due to a bug in the path parser. however
i am not aware of recent changes in the Path implemention.
