Hi again Brad, As you might have guessed I'm still having a very steep learning curve in jackrabbit.
An easier fix seems to be 1. patch the node-types 2. remove the DirListingExportHandler from the config.xml Forget about rolling your own handler. Seems I got a bit carried away there. Apparently one of the existing handlers picks up the props and that seems to suffice. Although there might be benefits in using a specialised handler. See also https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1364 sorry about the confusion but I'm pretty new to jackrabbit and have to figure out these things as I go along. Cheers roland
