Session.itemExists implementation wrong
---------------------------------------
Key: JCR-1328
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1328
Project: Jackrabbit
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jackrabbit-core
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
IMHO the implementation of the Session.itemExists(String) method is wrong when
called with a malformed path such as "/a/b/c/*" (note the trailing star).
According to the spec, the method must return "false" for a malformed path like
this.
In reality, the method throws a RepositoryException which is allowed to be
thrown by the spec "if an error occurrs" (whatever that means). But catching
this exception means, we cannot handle it: Is it a connection issue or a
general repository problem ? If so, I cannot do anything about it. It is really
a path problem, I can do something about it. But how do I know (without
rebuilding internals) ?
