Writing an SPI Implementation

[BrucePercy <br...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

Does anybody have any information or experience on writing your own SPI
implementation?

I've looked at the sandbox examples, but it's not clear how to plug in your
own implementation.

Any information would be very welcome.

Thanks,
Bruce.

the best example is probably jackrabbit-spi2jcr. it is complete and straight 
forward because it obviously maps well ;)

for bootstrap code see:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-jcr2spi/src/test/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/jcr2spi/JCR2SPI2JCRRepositoryStub.java

IMHO the starting point is to have an implementation of RepositoryConfig 
(with all its dependencies :-), and to use that to get JCR2SPI up and 
running. As in:

public static Repository newRepository(String p_name) throws 
RepositoryException {
     return 
org.apache.jackrabbit.jcr2spi.RepositoryImpl.create(RepositoryConfigImpl.getInstance(p_name));
}

If this doesn't help, please try to ask a more specific question :-)
