[gatein-dev] Site renaming

[Julien Viet]

from other's project (like ecms, etc...) perspective I think there could be issues.

within gatein itself, I think one way to test it would be to do a jcr move operation (with crash) and see what happens. I think that some stuff would break because there are internal pointers between JCR nodes using PATH value: for instance a navigations points to a page and the link is the path of the page in the navigation, for instance:

% ls -l
/production/mop:workspace/mop:portalsites/mop:classic/mop:rootnavigation/mop:children/mop:default/mop:children/mop:sitemap/mop:link
+-properties
| +-jcr:primaryType: mop:pagelink
| +-jcr:uuid: '4b86dd95c0a8008a2d41737a90e131be'
| +-mop:page: /production/mop:workspace/mop:portalsites/mop:classic/mop:rootpage/mop:children/mop:pages/mop:children/mop:sitemap
+-children
  +-/production/mop:workspace/mop:portalsites/mop:classic/mop:rootnavigation/mop:children/mop:default/mop:children/mop:sitemap/mop:link/mop:attributes

It currently seems like the only way to do it with the internal "API" is to remove and add a new site. So I'm wondering how things are currently handled internally. I'm also wondering how we should handle that situation with the public API as well. What should happen to the navigations that point to elements of a site if it is deleted?
