Major Description
imo the oak-api should be more specific about the nature of the
path parameter that is passed to methods like Root#getTree, #move, #copy
and that is returned by methods like Tree#getPath.
The api documentation consistently states that those paths are "relative to
the 'root' but when looking at the code i rather get the impression that
they are absolute paths such as defined by the JCR API.
for example:
SessionDelegate#getNode(String path) just passes the path to the oak-api
without making it 'relative to the root'.
on the other hand SessionDelegate#getRoot() passes an ""-path to Root#getTree.
another example:
SessionDelegate#getNodeByIdentifier starts like follows:
if (id.startsWith("/")) {
Tree tree = getTree(id);
[...]
so, again the absolute jcr path is passed into the oak-api.
requested action:
- clarify oak-api
- check all usages of oak-api and make api calls consistent
