I must admit I dind't see that one before asking, sorry. I agree that maybe using the current internal serialization of custom node types (in repository/nodetypes) is not the best solution for helping in the deployment of custom node types (but certain not as hard as modifying an Oracle tablespace ;)). But I also see that forcing an API method invocation as the *only* way of registering node types maybe is not the best solution for all deployment scenarios. I am thinking in large deployments of pre-configured jackrabbit registries with lots of custom node types..., providing a way to give jackrabbit representations of the custom node types in CND format in some way at start time (other than via API) will certainly ease the deployment of those repositories. I am sure that already having an independent representation of custom node types and namespaces in CND (or its counterpart in XML) are solid foundations for the implementation os this feature. Don't you think this feature is worth a try and will be a good improvement for jackrabbit? Greets,
