Re[2]: escape/unescape jcr names implementation

[Costin Leau <co...@gmail.com>]

Thanks Marcel.

I've found the class but at a different path:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/incubator/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/util/ISO9075.java
However, I've seen that internally it relies on Jackrabbit qname
implementation - is there any way to remove this dependency? I need to
the code to use only JCR api (javax.jcr) code.

the jackrabbit-commons module is only a dummy module that does not 
contain code itself but borrows it from the 'core'. that's why the class 
is located under trunk/jackrabbit.

if you intend to use the jackrabbit-commons.jar you get the QName class 
anyway because it is also part of that jar file ;)
