in jackrabbit-core i replaced all calls to the deprecated method
with a few exceptions. the problem with the deprecated method is
that it uses the deprecated constants from AccessManager and it
needs to convert the itemID to a path before passing it
over to the access control provider.

the second is just a convenience method.
