angela commented on OAK-221:
----------------------------
ok... i don't have any strong feelings regarding absolute or not.
but i do think it is important to have it consistent throughout the
code base, in particular as it grows quite fast. since Tree#getPath doesn't
return an absolute path i thought this was the way to go and started to
use non-absolute path all over the place... let's make an effort to
clean that up next week during the oakathon.
> Clarify nature of 'path' parameter in oak-api

> imo the oak-api should be more specific about the nature of the
> path parameter that is passed to methods like Root#getTree, #move, #copy
> and that is returned by methods like Tree#getPath.
> The api documentation consistently states that those paths are "relative to
> the 'root' but when looking at the code i rather get the impression that
> they are absolute paths such as defined by the JCR API.
> for example:
> SessionDelegate#getNode(String path) just passes the path to the oak-api
> without making it 'relative to the root'.
> on the other hand SessionDelegate#getRoot() passes an ""-path to Root#getTree.
> another example:
> SessionDelegate#getNodeByIdentifier starts like follows:
> if (id.startsWith("/")) {
> Tree tree = getTree(id);
> [...]
> so, again the absolute jcr path is passed into the oak-api.
> requested action:
> - clarify oak-api
> - check all usages of oak-api and make api calls consistent
