Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org X-Spam-Rating: minotaur.apache.org 1.6.2 0/1000/N I see from the archives that hard links were removed from Jackrabbit when they got removed from the JSR 170 spec. The "Multiple Parent" requirement (Section 6.11), a/k/a hard links, is back in the early draft of JSR 283. Did hard links ever work in Jackrabbit? Could JR turn on its support for hard links in some future release, or is this feature just a spec writer's pipe dream? Am I right in assuming that this feature was considered too *nix-ish for an MS-ish world? Is the real world satisfied having only REFERENCE-based soft links to mix:referenceables? -- Dan
