Sorry, but I still don't get it! I can create a node that is referencable by adding the mix:referenceable attribute. That much is clear.
How can I now create another node elsewhere in my tree that references this node? The documentation is not clear on this.

This ID is used for references. The created value (by the ValueFactory) should be a String. This String contains the UUID. In my example the record node has a property "forge:reference". There you can place the references. <propertyDefinition name="forge:Reference" requiredType="Reference" autoCreated="false" mandatory="false" onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" multiple="true"/> My document node is referenceable. So it has an unique ID. <supertype>mix:referenceable</supertype> So take the node which should hold the refernce (in my example the record) and take the node which you want to reference to and create a Reference Value with the help of the ValueFactory. This value has to be set for the "forge:Reference" property. Enough?! :) Daniel 2009/7/1 BOWLER Paul <paul.bow...@alcatel-lucent.com> > Daniel, > > Thanks for the reply, but I don't see how this uses the REFERENCE property > to point to another node? > > Can anyone else enlighten me? > > Thanks, > > Paul. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Manzke [mailto:daniel.man...@googlemail.com] > Sent: 01 July 2009 16:57 > To: users@jackrabbit.apache.org > Subject: Re: Newbie: PropertyType.REFERENCE > > Hi Paul, > here is a snippet. > > Node rootNode = session.getRootNode(); > Node record = rootNode.getNode(recordPath); //retrieves a node for an > electronical record > Node document = rootNode.getNode(documentPath); //retrieves a node for an > document in another record > *Value value = session.getValueFactory().createValue(document); //creates > the reference value* > *record.setProperty("forge:Referenzen", new Value[]{value}); //setting the > reference property* > session.save(); > > > I don't know if this is the best way.
