["Roy T. Fielding (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-241?page=all ]

Roy T. Fielding updated JCR-241:
--------------------------------

    Component: namespace

> Remapping the default namespace
> -------------------------------
>
>          Key: JCR-241
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-241
>      Project: Jackrabbit
>         Type: Wish
>   Components: namespace
>     Reporter: Jukka Zitting
>     Priority: Minor
>      Fix For: 1.1

>
> I'm not sure if this is a bug, feature or standard behaviour, but currently it is not possible to remap the default namespace to some other prefix. The following code throws a NamespaceException:
>     session.setNamespacePrefix("foo", "");
> At least the Session.setNamespacePrefix() javadoc doesn't seem to prohibit changing the prefix of the default namespace and I couldn't find anything more specific in the JCR specification document. Restrictions are only placed on remapping the xml namespace.
> Note that the current nodetype code is actually relying on the default namespace being mapped to the empty prefix, so changing this would require small changes there as well.
> I haven't really run into any cases where I'd have needed such functionality, but it would be nice to clarify this issue.
