Could you describe what kinds of workarounds you've needed? Apart from
search the only workaround I believe is needed to emulate the SQL
model is:
Value getValue(Node node, String name) throws ... {
try {
return node.getProperty(name).getValue();
} catch (PathNotFoundException e) {
return null;
}
}
