Julian Reschke commented on OAK-11397:
--------------------------------------
Now that the release of Oak 1.76.0 is out of the way, I'd like to come back to
this change.
AFAICT, the only remaining question is here -
<https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/pull/1993#discussion_r1938313490>:
{quote}Not sure whether this is good. As a user of this API, I would expect
that I can apply it to _any_ valid JCR name (in both forms). Otherwise I may
have to check before.
Proposal: allow both forms (with one being a NO-OP) and include that case in
the Javadoc.

[~kwin] - do you want to work on this, or should I take over?

> The expanded form name
> (https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/spec/jcr/2.0/3_Repository_Model.html#3.2.5.1%20Expanded%20Form)
> is in general more stable than the qualified form, due to global/session
> remappings.
> Therefore it is often beneficial to work with it. Also the JCR API only
> defines constants for the expanded form
> (https://javadoc.io/doc/javax.jcr/jcr/latest/constant-values.html).
> Although all JCR methods taking a JCR name/path accept both forms there are
> edge cases where one doesn't use it as JCR method argument.
> For example when checking if a given node name is contained in a Set of
> literals (e.g. in

> Therefore a way to get the expanded form name of a given javax.jcr.Item
> should be provided.
