mix:versionable on an nt:file node

[Günther Schmidt <gu...@web.de>]

Hello,

I've just managed to upload a local directory to Apache Sling via an 
HttpClient I wrote in Java. For those who wonder why I haven't simply 
used WebDav for this: I'm using a Mac and every time you copy/move files 
from local filesystem to a mounted, non-mac one there are "._*" files 
added where Apple will store indespensible, extremely important metadata 
about the file.
No remedy for this is known to man.

So anyway, the files and folders are uploaded and I even managed that 
the nt:files have the mix:versionable property set. And here's my 
question: The jcr:content node which contains the actual file data does 
not have the mix:versionable property set, just its parent, the nt:file 
node. Does this mean that the actual content of the file is not 
versioned, do I need to set it manually?

Eventually I will study the JCR2.0 spec, just not yet.

And are the files indexed via Jackrabbit's lucene too?

Regarding versioning, it works as you'd expect with nt:file and
nt:folder. nt:file nodes and all its children (i.e. the jcr:content
node) are versioned together. In contrast, child nodes of each
nt:folder are versioned individually.

In order to understand why this works, you need to start looking at
nodetype definitions, specifically the "on-parent-version" attribute.
I guess that's the point where you will "study the JCR2.0 spec" ;)

Hi Günther

On Mac, I copy files in the Terminal in order to avoid the ._*
metadata files. That worked fine for me with WebDAV and
Jackrabbit/Sling so far.

Regarding your question: whether documents are indexed or not depends
on your configuration, namely the "textFilterClasses" option of your
search index[0]. You can find some more background on available
TextExtractors etc. on the Jackrabbit website[1].

Julian

don't know about the rest but AIAK the files are indexed as well.
