hi david
i noticed that the jcr remoting applet of jackrabbit does not support
the unregisterNamespace method. next thing i tried is the jackrabbit
- --cli option, but again i only see the registernamespace operation.
is there a way to remove an existing namespace? or to correct a wrong
namespace?
while the jcr-remoting supports unregistration of namespaces, i think
this doesn't work due to a limitation in jackrabbit-core, which doesn't
support unregistration of namespaces:
the API method implementation in
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.NamespaceRegistryImpl#unregisterNamespace
states:
/**
* as we can't guarantee that there are no references to the specified
* namespace (in names of nodes/properties/node types etc.) we simply
* don't allow it.
*/

but this way, the wrong namespace with a dummy mapping will stay in my
repository forwever... can i get rid of it?
you could modify the corresponding ns*.properties file if you are
really sure that you know what you are doing... but this is obviously
not recommended for the same reasons mentioned in the code.
