CND file and Node.addMixin questions

[Alessandro Cosenza <al...@itkey.it>]

hi 
my cnd file contains a nodetype definition
[dms:document] > mix:versionable

when i create a node
addedNode = parent.addNode("document","dms:document");
the versionable mixin type is added immediately or
i have to call addedNode.addMixin("mix:versionable") ?

another question, could i add another mixin type to a node
which is not specified in cnd file?
for example addedNode.addMixin("mix:lockable") ?

thanks

since the primary type dms:document already extends mix:versionable,
there's no need to add that mixin explicitly by caling addMixin.

sure. mix:lockable is a predefined built-in node type.
please note that the cnd file is just a format for specifying
custom node types. it does not directly relate to the available,
i.e. registered node types.
