Hi,
I am wondering what is the best way to get the expanded form name 
(https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/spec/jcr/2.0/3_Repository_Model.html#3.2.5.1%20Expanded%20Form)
 from a given javax.jcr.Item (Node or Property). There is no method exposed 
directly from 
https://developer.adobe.com/experience-manager/reference-materials/spec/javax.jcr/javadocs/jcr-2.0/javax/jcr/Item.html.
However there are some edge cases where you want to compare the returned names 
with the stable qualified form (regardless of potential session/global mapping).

There are workaround which require the consumer to deal with 
org.apache.jackrabbit.spi.commons.conversion.NameResolver 
(https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.20/org/apache/jackrabbit/spi/commons/conversion/NameResolver.html),
 however there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to retrieve it (at least in Oak, 
while JR2 implemented this via its 
https://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/2.20/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/SessionImpl.html).

Am I missing something here?

WDYT about adding a JackrabbitItem to 
https://jackrabbit.apache.org/oak/docs/apidocs/org/apache/jackrabbit/api/package-summary.html
 which extends javax.jcr.Item to expose a “String getExpandedName()”?
Thanks for your input in advance,
Konrad
