JCRUtil.copy vs Workspace.copy - which one to use and when

We are copying entire directory from one folder to other folder - we've two API's to do it. We can do it at workspace or using JCRUtil. Which one should we use and what are the use cases for each?

We do see this error sometimes when we do workspace.copy()  - unresolved conflicts (and fail during commit)

    Hi Chetan,

    • Functionality wise both are same & internal implementation have some changes. 
    • The main difference top of my head is  Workspace save don;t need transient storage and saves automatically. Where as JCRUtil need explicit session save. 
    • Any issue with copying will throw an exception. 
    • For your use case workspace copy looks good to me.

    Thanks,
