Use of jcr:name seems to be ignored in initialContent configuration

[kyawzaw]

Hi,

I refer to Initial Content - ModeShape 3 - Project Documentation Editor

It is also possible to override the name of the nodes by defining the jcr:name attribute, which will then be used instead of the XML element's name.

I tried using jcr:name in my setup. However, it seems to be ignored and nodes were created with XML elements' names.

I am not sure whether it is a bug or error at my end.

Many thanks,

Kyaw

What does your initial content file look like? This modeshape/carsInitialContent.xml at 3.x · ModeShape/modeshape · GitHub is an example of a file we're using in our tests and it works fine.

Did you declare the jcr namespace in your file ?

I tried with following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:car="http://www.modeshape.org/examples/cars/1.0">

  <car:Car jcr:name="Toyota Prius" />

</jcr:root>

and a node with name "ns001:Car" was created under root.

Not to bring in namespace into this, I also tried with simpler following

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jcr:root xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0">

  <Car jcr:name="Toyota Prius" />

</jcr:root>

This time a node was created with name "Car", not "Toyota Prius" I was expecting.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Kyaw

I created a JIRA.

[MODE-2335] jcr:name is ignored in initialContent - JBoss Issue Tracker

[Problem solved]

There was a typo in a namespace in my project and caused the problem. With proper namespace declarations, the problem was fixed.

does your repository configuration define the "cars" node types ? i.e. "node-types" : ["cnd/cars.cnd"]. If not, make sure you define it because the initial content in this example is asking Modeshape to create a node with the "Car" type.

Is this happening with ModeShape 4.0 ? If yes, please open a JIRA & attach your initial content file and repository configuration, since jcr:name should be used regardless.

If you're testing using ModeShape 3 make sure you're using 3.8.1.Final.
