Jackrabbit Metadata + Inheritance
Hello,
I would like to implement 2 things and maybe you can give me some
advice how to do it:
1) I want to add Metadata to every node.
Possible solution: add a node called metaData and and the metaData as
properties belonging to this node. What do you think? Or are there
better ways?
2) Some specific nodes should inherit other nodes, in a way that the
metaData in the super node is also metaData in the subnode. How can I
implement this?
Thank you,
Nikolay

yes, see [0].

Hi Stefan,
what would be the advantage of meta data saved as Mixin over just a
node. Can I search Mixings thourh XPath?
Thanks,
Nikolay

you could e.g. define a custom mixin node type and assign it to specific nodes
by calling Node.addMixin().

if the 'super node' is always a parent of the 'derived' node you could
write some custom code which does traverse the parent hierarchy until it
finds the 'meta data'.
