             Summary: Hardcoded "childOrder" in NodeDelegate
                 Key: JCR-3403
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3403
             Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: angela


there has been some discussion recently on how to deal with internal (hidden?) content 
such as for example the property reflecting the order of child nodes (see http://markmail.org/message/kzt7csiz2bd5n3ww).

while working on some initial permission code i found that currently that property name
is hardcoded in multiple places in NodeDelegate while at the same time the javadoc of
NodeDelegate#getChildren refers to a different property name.

until we reach consensus on how to deal with such internal content, if/how to hide it from
JCR API consumers and whether or not (and to which extend) that should be a implementation 
detail of oak-core, i would suggest to define at least a constant on PropertyState that
allows to easily identify and adjust all usages.
