hi,

thanks to lars, jackalope-jackrabbit we now supports the cloneFrom and
update methods to create copies of a node in another workspace and
synchronize it back. i just tagged 1.0.0-alpha3

this could be one way to handle a draft system without needing versions.

cheers,david

Thanks David. :)

The only caveat with this approach is that updating a cloned node affects all descendants of the node. Potentially useful, but not always wanted. My posting on the Jackrabbit list explains the issue in more detail:

Hopefully someone can come up with a way to control the 'cascade' behaviour of an update (perhaps through node type definitions), or it can be added to a future JCR version...
