Jukka Zitting resolved JCR-1084. -------------------------------- Resolution: Fixed Resolved in revision 591404. > Maintan a stable ordering of properties in xml export > ----------------------------------------------------- > > Key: JCR-1084 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1084 > Project: Jackrabbit > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: jackrabbit-core, xml > Reporter: fabrizio giustina > Assignee: Jukka Zitting > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.4 > > Attachments: JCR-1084.diff > > > When exporting to xml (system view, not tested with document view) the order > of properties is not consistent. > This is not an issue with the jcr specification, since the order of > properties is undefined, but keeping the same (whatever) order in xml export > could be useful. > At this moment if you try running a few import->export->import->export > roundtrips you will notice that the exported xml often changes. This is an > example of the differences you can see: > <sv:property sv:name="jcr:uuid" sv:type="String"> > <sv:value>59357999-b4fb-45cd-8111-59277caf14b7</sv:value> > </sv:property> > + <sv:property sv:name="title" sv:type="String"> > + <sv:value>test</sv:value> > + </sv:property> > <sv:property sv:name="visible" sv:type="String"> > <sv:value>true</sv:value> > </sv:property> > - <sv:property sv:name="title" sv:type="String"> > - <sv:value>test</sv:value> > - </sv:property> > If you may need to diff between two exported files that could be pretty > annoying, you have no clear way to understand if something has really changed > or not. > I would propose to keep ordering consistent between export: an easy way could > be sorting properties alphabetically during export. > This behavior has been tested on a recent jackrabbit build from trunk > (1.4-SNAPSHOT) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
