I've just come across the same problem. ' and a few others are not legal
in JCR path names.

My problem is that they are legal in WebDAV and so I need to escape /
unescape these for WebDAV access. I've had a quick look around to see
where there is a natural extension point for this but so far I can't
find the right place. I've looked at IOHandler, DavLocator etc but
everywhere seems to be more of a copy / paste than just the extension I
would expect to just escape / unescape one name - other places I've
extended Jackrabbit have been well architected extension points. This
leads to me to think I'm not looking in the right place. Any pointers
are welcome. Thanks

Subject: Apostrophe in path generates error

When I call session.getItem(path) and the path has an apostrophe in a
filename, it generates a "javax.jcr.RepositoryException: invalid path:"=20
error.

Does anyone know why?

Do I need to escape apostrophes? What other characters need to be
escaped? Is this documented anywhere?
