Hi,

I have a form to grab email id and other info for registration and saving as nodes.

I just want an advice on how right or safe to use email id as Node name.

Thanks

If your application requires any specific logic to create node based on certain name you can use that else you can generate node name using UUID:

UUID uuid = UUID.randomUUID();
String nodeName = uuid.toString();

Now all the form values can be stored as a node property in the node so it will be something like below:

Thanks!

How long node name can be ?

@hptarora There is no such documentation, but this might be helpful where it says 150 chars.

You can put upto 350 characters (500 characters is max) as per the above ticket.

But using the GUID should not be an issue as I am using already this on my system and it works perfectly fine.

Hi,

you can encode an email to get a unique node name and use that as a node name.

Its not a best way to create node names with email ids. you can create node and then set emailId as property in the nodes.
This explains some node naming conventions https://jackrabbit.apache.org/archive/wiki/JCR/NodeNamingConventions_115513460.html
