Security

A separate document for security is located under JackrabbitOnJbossSecurity

Custom access manager when using Jboss for security is referenced at SimpleJbossAccessManager

Deploy Jackrabbit with JCA

Now, jackrabbit is running and available through JNDI at java:jcr/local.

Expose the local repository through RMI

Now a JCR RMI server is running at jnp://localhost:1099/jcrServer

Expose the local repository through Webdav

Now the webdav server is running at [WWW] http://localhost:8080/jackrabbit-server

Access the repository from a session bean

EJB3 example

Container managed transactions
@Stateless
public class TestCMT implements TestCMTBean {
        
        public void test() throws Exception {
                InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext() ;
                Repository repo = (Repository) ctx.lookup("java:jcr/local") ;
                Credentials cred = new SimpleCredentials("user",new char[]{'´p','w','d'}) ;
                Session s = repo.login(cred) ;
                s.getRootNode().addNode("foo") ;
                s.save();
        }

}
Bean managed transactions
@Stateless
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class TestBMT implements TestBMTBean {
        
        
        @Resource
        UserTransaction utx ;

        public void test() throws Exception {
                utx.begin() ;
                InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                Repository repo = (Repository) ctx.lookup("java:jcr/local");
                Credentials cred = new SimpleCredentials("user",new char[]{'´p','w','d'}) ;
                Session s = repo.login(cred);
                s.getRootNode().addNode("foo");
                s.save();
                utx.commit() ;
        }

}

Access the repository remotely from the command line interface

Common problems faced while configuring jackrabbit on jboss

1. I get following exception when configured jca on jboss

2. I get following exception when trying to connect remote jackrabbit repository using jnp port

3. I am using jackrabbit on jboss 4.x and am getting following exception when jackrabbit-server.war gets deployed.

4. In JBoss 4.0.5, I've got the Jackrabbit 1.3 repository configured and I can look it up in the JNDI using a test app, but my WebDav app cannot find the repository eventhough I've followed the instructions and my configuration looks ok...
