question about nt:folder

Hi :)

I would like to know if nt:folder nodes can accept nt:ressource or
nt:unstructured nodes as child? 

thank you

Thank you :)

This mixin type feature is interesting but i don't understand how it works :
(
How could I add a mixin type to my nt:folder node and then add other nodes
with different nodetypes?

For the definition of the basic nodetypes, see the JCR 1.0 spec,
section 6.7.22 [1].

I guess you mean nt:file instead of nt:folder. An nt:folder is
supposed to contain nt:files - it is only allowed to have child nodes
of type nt:hierarchyNode, ie. nt:folder and nt:file [2]. To add more
unstructured data to a folder, you can add a mixin that introduces
other properties and/or child nodes.

A nt:file has a jcr:content node that typically is of type
nt:resource, but it can be any node type (inheriting from nt:base), so
you can also use an nt:unstructured for the jcr:content subnode.
