Question on Arbitrary Node Association

[Sharmarke Aden <ad...@gmail.com>]

Hi, I'm not intimately familiar with jackrabbot and I have a question
regarding node association. I'm trying to create a plug-in driven
architecture where concretely defined nodes can have external nodes
(nodes on entirely different path within the repository) associated
with them. Does jackrabbit support the association of arbitrary nodes
with each other? By that I mean, nodes that don't have parent-child or
sibling relationships.

there are 2 referencing techniques specified / available in jsr170:
- reference properties
- path properties

reference properties only work for referenceable nodes, but enforce
referential integrity, where as path properties have no further
semantics than storing a path.

regards, toby
