Subject: Re: Issue with JcrResourceUtil.createPath

Hi Amit,

patch looks good to me.

For fixing the other method I'm not sure, I could argue that e.g. /a/b/c/d 
exists, user is allowed to read /a/b and read/write to /a/b/c/d but can't read 
/a/b/c. Now the user gets /a/b and calls createPath() passing this node and 
wanting to create /a/b/c/d/e - which would be possible but fail as /a/b/c is 
not readable for the user.
A little bit artificial, I agree - but if it's easy to fix, I think we should 
do this - just to be consistent.

Carsten
