[jira] [Commented] (JCR-3014) Identifier paths for inexistent items throw exception

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-3014?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13063986#comment-13063986 ] 

Alex Parvulescu commented on JCR-3014:
--------------------------------------

ok, I didn't do a full rollback after all. I just removed the part that checks properties.

I got confused by the failing test [0]. But the problem is that I'm not sure if that the test is actually ok: NamespaceRemappingTest.testExceptionOnUnknownPrefix(NamespaceRemappingTest.java:174) [1].
It relies on session.propertyExists to throw an exception if a property does not exist, but the api [2] states that is will throw an exception only if the path is "not a well-formed absolute path"

So in the case where you have a well-formed absolute path that does not exist, you'll still get an error, which does not feel right. We can fix that too, but then the test [1] will break.
