hi juerg as far as i can see in the code it is supported, though i don't know the exact details. the proper way is to use the javax.jcr.nodetype.NodeTypeManager interface (and/or public utilities).
the javadoc you are quoting is just the result of sloppy programming as the ReadWriteNodeTypeManager (which is the implementation exposed through Workspace.getNodeTypeManager) doesn't come with a dedicate javadoc section and therefore inherits the doc from it's base class ReadOnlyNodeTypeManager. would you mind creating a jira ticket such that we can fix that? sorry for the inconvenience and kind regards angela ________________________________ From: JCR <j...@proxymit.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2023 15:43 To: users@jackrabbit.apache.org <users@jackrabbit.apache.org> Subject: Re-registering a nodetype with Oak Hello I wonder how this is officially done... or not supported? As per doc (https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/apidocs/org/apache/jackrabbit/oak/plugins/nodetype/write/ReadWriteNodeTypeManager.html), the ReadWriteNodeTypeManager throws an UnsupportedRepositoryOperationException on any registering operation as prescribed by JCR2's NodeTypeManager interface. Any hints? Thanks, Juerg
