Copy a node from oak run console?

[Andrei Dulvac <an...@gmail.com>]

Hi devs,

I'm curious of the easiest way to copy a jcr node using the oak run  groovy
console. I know that's easily achievable from the workspace by using the
path and using the jcr Session:   session.getWorkspace().copy("/path/src",
"/path/dst/");
But from the oak run groovy console, all I have to start with is a
org.apache.jackrabbit.oak.console.ConsoleSession. I can't seem to find a
way to get the jcr workspace. Noob question 2: Should ConsoleSession
implement Session?

Thanks,
Andrei

NodeBuilder API was meant to model the Tree access and has just the
required set of operations to enable our usecases and was not meant to
model the JCR Node/Property API. So for generic operations its
preferable to stick to JCR api!

Hi,

Thanks all for the responses, it's much clearer now.

You can use NodeBuilder#setChildNode(String, NodeState) to efficiently

That's what I did. But I had to recursively do that for all children nodes
of the source. Which is not a big deal.

Got it, thanks!

You can use NodeBuilder#setChildNode(String, NodeState) to efficiently 
copy a node. Under the hood this method uses value sharing to save space 
and time.

Note however, that this method doesn't respect JCR semantics and thus 
can't be used to implement javax.jcr.Workspace#copy(String, String) and 
the like.

Hi Chetan,

Just how I thought. But I hoped there would be a way to get a JCR Session.
What I was trying to do is copy a node (NodeState) with all its properties
and children. Using the oak API, I had to roll my own and recursively call
copy. Not a biggie, but it's odd that doesn't exist on the NodeBuilder or
something.

Thanks!
Andrei

oak-run console is only meant to initialize a Oak ContentSession
(which differs from a JCR Session!) and does not initializes a full
feldged JCR session. So you cannot perform operations via JCR API. The
console is mostly meant to perform low level debugging and
manipulation of data.

What are you trying to achieve? If you can use the std JCR API then
prefer that but then yes oak-run console cannot be used
