Start after shutdown repository

[Daniel Sanchez <in...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm working with jackrabbit in a OSGi environment. Everything works fine but
I need to start / stop the repository multiple times.
Is it possible to start the repository after calling shutdown?

Thanks

I have managed to reload the jackrabbit-server bundle multiple times.  
I have not managed (or tried to) explicitly start and stop the  
Jackrabbit repository and IIRC, there are some static bindings that  
*might* make it unadvisable.

I don't know if its a OSGi thing, or just my mistakes, but if I have  
statics referenced from other bundles I find that reloading some  
bundles can cause Sling to become partially un-responsive, at times  
requiring a kill -9. I have a feeling that class-loaders may be being  
held open? Sadly no hard evidence to support that feeling.

I don't have an immediate answer, but Sling does that in its
jackrabbit-server bundle, source code at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/sling/trunk/bundles/jcr/jackrabbit-server/
