angela commented on OAK-5229:
-----------------------------
[~alexparvulescu], just had a quick look at the patch and the questions raised
above:
{quote}
UUID structure will only be validated if the proper mixin is present. If the
events are reversed (captured by a test now): first bad UUID, then mixin is
added, the validator will not accept the changes. I think this respects the
requirements while also not eagerly validating UUID formats.
{quote}
That looks ok to me and corresponds to the behaviour we had in Jackrabbit core.
If a {{jcr:uuid}} property is used outside of the context of
{{jcr:referenceable}} mixin type and thus it's defining node type is a another
primary/mixin type, it's no longer what it looks like... so the behaviour is
for sure compliant with the contract. I would consider all items with the "jcr"
prefix specially those that are protected to be reserved and using them outside
of the context is bad practice that will lead to undefined behaviour. If it
turned out to be an issue in practice or from a security point of view we may
still consider enforcing this.
{quote}
There is still the issue with CugValidatorTest that no one picked up.
{quote}
The {{CugValidator}} for security reasons has an extra validation to prevent
_changing_ the primary node type of any node from or to {{rep:CugPolicy}}. The
test verifies that this constraint is enforced and that the expected error code
is thrown as listed in the documentation of the feature (see oak docu).
If the test fails with your changes as described it means that the
{{CugValidator}} is not triggered and a previous validator already aborted.
This could either highlight an issue in your changes or it might highlight the
fact that changing the primary type of the target node to {{rep:CugPolicy}} is
not possible for nt-constraint reasons or that the change is incomplete (e.g.
missing mandatory child items) that trigger the {{TypeEditor}}. The right fix
for the latter would be to adjust the test-case (-> TypeEditor doesn't
complain) and thus have the {{CugValidator}} trigger.
Please don't exclude the test-case from execution.
Regarding [~tripod] comment above:
{quote}
but adding a mixin also checks immediately, and so should changing the primary
type; as mandated by the JCR spec.
{quote}

Therefore, I would suggest that we perform a best-effort check in {{oak-jcr}}
and fail as early as possible. I don't think that changing the primary type is
a very common operation and I would be surprised if performing the validation
twice would have a huge performance impact in general. [~alexparvulescu],
[~tripod], what do you think?

> 1. Assume the following:
> {noformat}
> /testNode [nt:unstructured]
> /unstructured_child [nt:unstructured]
> {noformat}
> 2. setting "/testNode".setPrimaryType("nt:folder")
> 3. save the session.
> Altering the primary type works, thus leaving the repository in an
> inconsistent state.
> Interestingly, subsequent calls to
> "/testNiode/unstructured_child".setProperty() will fail:
> {noformat}
> javax.jcr.nodetype.ConstraintViolationException: OakConstraint0001:
> /test_node[[nt:folder]]: No matching definition found for child node
> unstructured_child with effective type [nt:unstructured]
> {noformat}
