Hi,

I'm now using this interface but for a NODE_REMOVED event I need to find the node id of the now removed node (so I can audit that id as deleted).

The javax.jcr.observation.Event interface only provides jcr path, event type and user id information, and the EventImpl implementation provides parent and child ids (but again no id of the node affected).

I've noticed the internal org.apache.jackrabbit.core.state.NodeState class has a getId (for my first approach mentioned above), as does the interface org.apache.jackrabbit.spi.Event (getItemId()). 

How can I get the node id when using javax.jcr.observation.Event or org.apache.jackrabbit.core.observation.EventImpl classes?

Thanks again,

Benjamin

Can you target your application to the upcoming JCR 2.0 standard? The
JCR 2.0 version of javax.jcr.observation.Event interface contains a
getIdentifier() method that's pretty much what you're looking for.

See the Jackrabbit dev@ list for current status of the JCR 2.0
implementation efforts.
