Hi --
I got side-tracked a bit, but I will try to put together a code snippet.
In answer to the protocol question, the remote client uses the spi webdav
interface

Hi -- Did you wish to see sample code on the server side where I do the
re-register, or on the
client side where I read the stuff?
both if possible.
BTW: what protocol are you using for remotely accessing the repository?
cheers

Hi --
I was trying to just add another string property, and I did not specify
"mandatory" in my .cnd file, so does that mean it is
non-mandatory?
yes
I did a dump after the re-register, but the new property does not show
up
under /jcr:system/jcr:nodeTypes anywhere, and
I cannot seem to set it when I add my node.
could you please provide some sample code?
cheers
stefan
Thanks

Hi -
I've been able to add custom node types within the jackrabbit server
app.
However, is it possible to add new properties to a node type that is
already registered?
I first call isRegistered() to see if a nodeTypeName is registered,
and
if it is, I call
reregisterNodeType() in the hopes that it would re-register the node
type
with the new properties I have
added.
However, new properties do not seem to get registered.
you can only register 'trivial' node type changes, i.e. changes that
do not affect existing content.
a trivial change would e.g. be adding a non-mandatory property.
a non-trivial (and thus non-supported change) would e.g. be adding a
mandatory property
or adding a value constraint to an existing property definition.
what exactly are you trying to change?
What does reregisterNodeType() actually do?
reregisterNodeType() allows to modify the definition of
an existing, already registered node type. only trivial
changes are currently supported.
for more details see:
