OCM toosl : Undefined JCR Type support

[Christophe Lombart]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering how to support the "undefined" jcr type ?
What are your expectation ? What are your use cases ? I would like to have
some good examples where the undefined type could be use.
Is it interesting to map an "underfined" jcr prop into a javabean attribute
based on the Object class ?

br,
Christophe

Using Object for the mapping sounds reasonable.

I think the UNDEFINED property type is mostly used in contexts like
nt:unstructured, where more exact typing information is not available.
Such cases are not very applicable to the current static mapping
approach, but the "content-to-object" mapping approach I mentioned
earlier would directly benefit from such a catchall mapping.
