Jukka Zitting commented on OAK-89:
----------------------------------

bq. Why {{AbstractNameMapper.getJcrName()}} should throw a 
{{IllegalStateException}} here is beyond me.

Here's how I'd define the error-handling for the NameMapper interface:

{code:java}
/**
 * Returns the Oak name for the given JCR name, or {@code null} if no
 * such mapping exists because the given JCR name contains an unknown
 * namespace URI or prefix, or is otherwise invalid.
 *
 * @param jcrName JCR name
 * @return Oak name, or {@code null}
 */
String getOakName(String jcrName);

/**
 * Returns the JCR name for the given Oak name. The given name is
 * expected to have come from a valid Oak repository that contains
 * only valid names with proper namespace mappings. If that's not
 * the case, either a programming error or a repository corruption
 * has occurred and an appropriate unchecked exception gets thrown.
 *
 * @param oakName Oak name
 * @return JCR name
 */
String getJcrName(String oakName);
{code}

Are there some cases that aren't covered by such a definition?

> As discusses on the @oak-dev list [1] we need to improve the way exceptions 
> are thrown and handled. 
> I suggest to create a OakException which extends from RuntimeException and 
> encapsulate a RepositoryException into it. These exceptions can then be 
> handled where appropriate. We can the later turn this into a more 
> sophisticated mechanism where the OakException is mapped to a corresponding 
> RepositoryException by an injected mapping (see Jukka's proposal in the 
> discussion).
