hi felix
Consier a UserManager not set to autosave mode. I do:Group g = userManager.createGroup(groupPrincipal) g.addMemmber(someUser); This results in an InvalidItemStateException: javax.jcr.InvalidItemStateException: c0a1a731-9fea-34fa-aa78-d224bd58a981 has been modified externally at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.ItemImpl.save(ItemImpl.java:1145) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.user.UserManagerImpl.setProtectedProperty(UserManagerImpl.java:581) at org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.user.GroupImpl.addMember(GroupImpl.java:151) I assume this is because the addMember method calls Item.save() while the parent node has not been saved yet.
but why is the save method called? if you are *not* in autosave-mode the save-call should be omitted and you are in charge of calling session.save to persist the complete set of transient modifications anyway... strange.
Is this a known issue worth following up to ?
no, this isn't a known issue... can you check why Item.save() is called in the first place? and file a new JIRA issue if it's a bug in the user-management code. thanks angela
Thanks and Regards Felix
