Fundamental Decisions

Native JCR UUIDs vs. artificial UUIDs

• Native:
  • Automatic referential integrity checks
  • Find links to a page using Node.getReferences()
  • UUIDs generated by repository
• Artificial:
  • More flexibility re. modelling translations (multiple nodes can share a UUID)
  • Lenya 2.0.* repositories can be directly migrated
• Combination
  • Native JCR UUIDs for referential integrity
  • Lenya UUIDs for internal links
    

Referential integrity check (via reference properties) for internal links?

• Issues:
  • Pages containing links to non-published pages can't be published
  • Scheduled operations will fail (e.g. deactivation)
• Probably does more harm than good.
