Angela Schreiber created OAK-9613: ------------------------------------- Summary: Define API to retrieve parent or null for a given Item Key: OAK-9613 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OAK-9613 Project: Jackrabbit Oak Issue Type: Improvement Components: jackrabbit-api, jcr Reporter: Angela Schreiber
as discussed in SLING-10011 it would be desirable to allow for retrieval of a Item's parent without having to deal with the exceptions that are thrown by {{Item.getParent()}} in case the parent does not exist or is not accessible. I would like to suggest to introduce {{JackrabbitSession.getParentOrNull(Item item)}}, which would return a {{Node}} or null. For backwards compatibility the new method should come with a default implementation that calls {{Item.getParent()}} and returns null in case of {{AccessDeniedException}} as it is thrown by _oak-jcr_ if there is no parent (either root node or no accessible). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
