Copy versionable node to a standard one (non-versionable)

[VitalyL <Vi...@gmail.com>]

Hi Jackrabbit Community.

Recently I've upgraded environment to 2.2.9 version (from 1.6.1) and faced
with a following problem.
In some use cases the versionable node is copied to a standard one (without
"versionable" mixin).

It was realized by copying the versionable node and removing mixin then.

/workspace.copy(path, destPath);
...
copy.removeMixin(JcrConstants.MIX_VERSIONABLE);/

With 2.2.9 it throws javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: no
matching property definition found for
{http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0}isCheckedOut

So, the main question: how to create a copy without any version information?

I don't know if that is bug (i.e. I think removeMixin should probably
remove it's properties such as jcr:isCheckedOut automatically, but I am
not sure).

As a workaround you can copy the node and properties "manually" (ie.
getProperty + setProperty) and excluding the versioning properties
altogether (and not setting the mix:versionable on the target node).

Cheers,
Alex
