Alias Property

[Luis Gervaso]

Hi all,

Is possible the definition of an alias property in a node.

This is only to make beautiful the path of a node

We have nodes like : /site/folders/mark/folders/documents

and we want to translate to /site/mark/documents

we can't change the structure so setting an alias property we can search
using xpath

BUT the real issue is : Can we make this alias "unique"?

BR
Luis

You could have reference properties, but you will most likely have to
change the queries (using jcr:deref(@prop) to dereference the nodes).

JCR 2.0 (JSR-283 http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=283) will have a
feature called "shareable nodes" that should fit your use case quite
well.

What do you mean by "unique"?
