Subject: RE: Path Constrained queries


Hello Dave,


How does one determing the absolute path of a node that you have retreived by uuid? Do we really need to do a recursive getParent search to the root?

No, just use node.getPath()

Or, do i really need to store the absolute path of each node in a node property? This seems really painful. I see the property jcr:path, but this is apparently only a pseudo property available only from within the query itself.

Obviously, you don't need this, and it would be very much against the
architecture of Jackrabbit: A node does not know its path/location by
itself: all it knows, are its children and its parent. The hierarchical
structure is derived from this.


So the question is how do people do a descendent path constraining query when you want to start the search at any arbitrary node that is retrieved by UUID?

Think this one is clear with the getPath, right?

Regards Ard
