Node definitions

Hi all,

 

I have a stupid question to ask. I'd like to know what is the difference between these classes :

 

-          NodeType

-          NodeTypeDef

-          NodeDefinition

-          NodeDef

 

Thanks !

There are no stupid questions here. In any case, I guess this question
would have been more appropriate to the dev@ mailing list.

The NodeTypeDef and NodeDef classes are the internal classes used by
Jackrabbit to represent node type information.

The NodeType and NodeDefinition interfaces are defined in the JCR API
and are used by clients to inspect the repository content model.
Jackrabbit implements these interfaces in the NodeTypeImpl and
NodeDefinitionImpl classes that expose the internal information from
the Def classes.
