Change node name without move method

[Scott_Przy]

Found a similar thread here: Need java code to convert the page names to lower case which a staff member posted this bit of code:

void rename(Node node, String newName) throws RepositoryException

    {

        node.getSession().move(node.getPath(), node.getParent().getPath() + "/" + newName.toLowerCase());  //

        node.getSession().save();

    }

which is close to what I need except that when its executed the node structure is changed and the newly named node is pushed to the bottom and I need it to maintain position in the structure.

See this thread here - it may help. I have never tried renaming a node via code.

Hi,

There is no explicit method to rename node in JCR, It can be done only by move method.

Since move method change the order of node but It can be reorder.

Yeah there is too many nodes to change manual for us so we us groovy scripts to do so. This code in your link is the same i have posted above. Which apparently is the only way to do it but I have found a way to reorder after the fact.

Thank you the Node.OrderBefore(String srcChildRelPath, String destChildRelPath)

is exactly what I needed.
