Public link for jcr documents
Hi,
I had developed a web portal for creating, uploading file/folders using
Jackrabbit 2.8.1 and Jcr 2.0. I usually provide access for docs with LDAP
authentication but in some cases I required a way to get public access url
for some of our users. If any one can help it would be highly appreciable.

I hope this is helpful and not an oversimplification of what you're after,
but here's how I make a node public in meta64 (search it on GitHub):
public static void makeNodePublic(Session session, Node node) throws
Exception {
List<String> privileges = new LinkedList<String>();
privileges.add(Privilege.JCR_READ);
grantPrivileges(session, node, EveryonePrincipal.getInstance(), privileges);
}
Cheers, and happy Jackrabbiting.
Best regards,
Clay Ferguson

Again, I'm not expert in the ACL/Authentication area; but as far as I
remember, in JR we have an anonymous user which does not require
authentication. If you assign read privileges to the required nodes to
such user you should get a publicly accessible URL.

Hi thanks for answer.
I mean by "Public access to some users" is that I wanted to create a public
url for a node so that there would have no need of authentication to access
that node. That node is a jcr:document node where a binary file stored in
its jcr:data property. When anyone try to access that url, it should
download that file.

I didn't really understand the use case "public access for some users".
By saying some users I imply that you want that URL to be, rather than
public, always secured and only a group of users has access to it.
In JR we have groups as well beside users. You'll have to deal with the
ACL of the specific node by providing either the list of users
explicitly or by providing a group under which the users are registered.
I think these two links could help you out

If you are saying "some users" behave one way, and some users behave
another way, then this is called a "group", in Jackrabbit and you MUST use
a group. Also it's the only way it even makes any sense. Some users is
synonymous with "group of users". I think what you are wanting is
'read-only' access by a specific group, but you are just confused about
terminology. The word "public" means "everyone" can see it (at least for
read-only). So once you learn the definitions of those words you will then
be able to ask your question properly.
