Hi I have a versionable node (nodeA), which contains a reference (to nodeB) property. The problem I face is when I delete the nodeB that an earlier version of nodeA refers to. Note: The current version of nodeA doesn't refer to the nodeB. Hence, the deletion of nodeB doesn't cause any referential intergrity problems. So far this is working as I want it to. But if I try to restore nodeA to the earlier version (where there was a reference to nodeB), I get this error: javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: failed to check REFERENCE value constraint:
How do I overcome this problem? I can think of 2 solutions: 1) I keep versions of nodeB as well. So that, before restoring nodeA, I restore nodeB to the corresponding version: This approach has 2 major problems: i) How do I restore the version of a deleted node? ii) Would it be possible to keep a common label to the versions of nodeA * and* nodeB. 2) Since, the previous approach seems to be fraught with major problems, how about a solution where I can restore the node "temporarily", and probably discard all values that violate constraints? Is this even possible? Thanks in advance, Sridhar
