webdav integration
hello
new to jackrabbit. I can setup a a TransientRepository and add nodes to it
(basically by following first hops). what i wanted to do next was access
that repo via the webdav api.
the question is, how do i do this in a junit environment without a
webserver? Is it even possible? So setup the Transient Repo in the test
setup, then have some sort
of simple client that accesses that repo via webdav.
I couldn't find any tutorials/help articles on this sort of thing.
thanx

alexander -- i found a number of problems with the code i posted before.
for starters, i wasn't specifying a url. when i specify a url
localhost:8080/ i get a 404 error
so here is the setup code
server = new Server(8080);
Context root = new Context(server, "/", Context.SESSIONS);
root.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new RepoServlet()), "");
where RepoServlet returns a singleton TransientRepository.
does that look correct?

I have not much insight about the Jackrabbit WebDAV client, but AFAIK
it is not a complete client. See this long thread
http://markmail.org/message/tsyrrrhkp3godxgh which lists some other
open source java webdav clients.

Re: webdav integration
Posted by Michael Harris <mi...@gmail.com>.
Alex
ok Ive got a jetty instance imbedded in my test harness. Ive extended the
simple webdav servlet, subclassed it to return my repo, and attached it to
jetty. Now I am trying to write some webdav client code. Unfortunately the
documentation is exceedingly horrible.
The first method I need to write is to just get a list of what is in the
repo. the SearchMethod seems like it is the tool. HOwever, I have no idea,
and the javadocs don't help, on what the search info should be.
I know I am asking a lot, but here is what i have
what i added to my test repo
Node root = session.getRootNode();
Node assets = root.addNode("assets");
// Store content
Node asset = assets.addNode("asset");
asset.setProperty("url", "http://asset1url.org");
asset.setProperty("name", "Asset 1");
asset.setProperty("typetype", "image");
Node asset2 = assets.addNode("asset");
asset2.setProperty("url", "http://asset2url.org");
asset2.setProperty("name", "Asset 2");
asset2.setProperty("type", "image");
my client code looks like
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
SearchMethod method = new SearchMethod("/", "", "");
client.executeMethod(method);
byte[] resp = method.getResponseBody();
System.out.println(resp);
I am getting a domexception when i run the client. Any insight?

Yes, no problem, your services use the JCR API and map the service calls to it.
But I could imagine that using the WebDAV server already gives all you
need (since you mentioned your services work with files). In that case
you "only" need a WebDAV client - you don't need to do much on the
server side then.
You should also have a look at Sling, which is a thin web application
framework on top of JCR. It provides XML and JSON views of the nodes
and properties in a RESTful way. Files in the repository (nt:file) are
delivered as in a static webserver. And developing with Sling makes
much more fun than Struts ;-):

You can configure a so-called PersistenceManager for storing the data.
You can use the Derby bundle persistence manager (default
configuration in most repository.xmls) that uses an embedded Apache
Derby database. Have a look at
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-configuration.html
and
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/PersistenceManagerFAQ
and
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DataStore
(DataStore is a separate and faster storage for binary data, such as
files stored in the repository).

Alex

Re: webdav integration

Alex
thanx for all your help.
So there are two things here -- one is the webdav component of the app. JR
isn't going to be involved in this; we are using it just for prototyping,
although we will use the JR-webdav client to access the sharepoint repo the
organization uses.
the second is the storage of our app content. This content is xml. the app
is basically a web based xml editor. we were thinking of using JR to store
the xml file, as we have requiremens around versioning and locking. So, if
a repository is bundled with the app (deployment method one), do servlets
even come into play? We are using Struts as our web tier, and were going to
wrap services around the repository functionality (get a file, lock a file,
version a file, save a file, lock a file, etc). In that approach, would the
service layer be able to access the repo? I assume we would have to build
some functionality around managing the sessions that provide access ot the
repo.
or am i totally off here?
Every "deploy in app server" wiki entry assumes oracle. they all have setup
jndi with oracle parts. Do we need a db? Doesn't the repo run on disk (or
i should say, can't jackrabbit just run on the filesystem?)

Re: webdav integration
Posted by Alexander Klimetschek <ak...@day.com>.
Depends on what you want. Have a look at the deployment models:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/deployment-models.html
(2) is the model I described before. If the repo is available via
JNDI, all applications can share the same repository.
You can also have a repository for each application (1), but then you
need to put the necessary jackrabbit servlets into all your webapps
and make sure you use a different repository home (and different
persistence manager stores, eg. different databases).

Alex

If you use the jackrabbit-webapp.war, it does everything for you: it
includes a RepositoryStartupServlet that will start a repository,
starts the webdav servlet for it and makes it available via jndi.
Have a look at
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-web-application.html
and at the web.xml, in which you see the various Servlets and config options:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-webapp/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

hey
thanx for the reply. does one need the jackrabbit-webapp.war to use webdav
interface? if you need jetty, you are saying there is no way to access the
repo without the servlet engine. I guess that makes sense.
so if I deploy the jackrabbit jars and deps with my application war, and
have some sort of startup code that creates a TransientRepo (using a struts
plugin), can I then access that repo via webdav by going to
localhost/myapp/repo-dir?

Hi,
you can extend the SimpleWebdavServlet (inside jackrabbit-jcr-server
and you also need the jackrabbit-webdav lib). The only thing you will
have to do is to overwrite the getRepository() method and provide your
own (Transient)Repository. Then you need to have a servlet container
started from within your application or junit test (I think Jetty is
the simplest for this task).
Have a look at the javadocs:
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/org/apache/jackrabbit/webdav/simple/SimpleWebdavServlet.html
See also http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/WebDAV for some infos and
links to the javadocs.
Otherwise you can install a servlet container and deploy the entire
jackrabbit-webapp.war:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/jackrabbit/binaries/jackrabbit-webapp-1.4.war

Alex
