[jira] Updated: (JCR-325) docview roundtripping does not work with multivalue non-string properties

["Stefan Guggisberg (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-325?page=all ]

Stefan Guggisberg updated JCR-325:
----------------------------------

    Component: xml
                   (was: core)
         type: Improvement  (was: Bug)
    Assign To:     (was: Stefan Guggisberg)

document view serialization is per definition 'lossy' and not guaruanteed to roundtrip.

changing type to 'Improvement' as current implementation (skipping mutli-valued properties on document view export) is compliant with "6.4.2.5 Multi-value Properties" of the spec.

>
> when exporting a multivalue property with docview, the property values are serialized to a space delimited list in the xml attributes:
> for example:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> .
> .
> <testNode 
>     jcr:primaryType="refTest" 
>     refs="b5c12524-5446-4c1a-b024-77f623680271 7b4d4e6f-9515-47d8-a77c-b4beeaf469bc"
> />
> the refTest nodetype was:
> [refTest] 
> - refs (reference) multiple 
> importing this docview fails with: javax.jcr.ValueFormatException: not a valid UUID format
> this is due to the fact, that the space delimited list is not exploded anymore. actually this code is commented:
> org.apache.jackrabbit.core.xml.DocViewImportHandler, lines 191 - 200:
> /*
>                 // @todo should attribute value be interpreted as LIST type (i.e. multi-valued property)?
>                 String[] strings = Text.explode(attrValue, ' ', true);
>                 propValues = new Value[strings.length];
>                 for (int j = 0; j < strings.length; j++) {
>                     // decode encoded blanks in value
>                     strings[j] = Text.replace(strings[j], "_x0020_", " ");
>                     propValues[j] = InternalValue.create(strings[j]);
>                 }
> */
> i haven't tested, but i assume this also fails for all other non-string property types.
