OpenCmis JCR allow access to JCR repository instance

[Sam Cruttenden <sc...@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

I am looking to use the CMIS JCR bridge. 


Is it possible to pass an already created Jackrabbit repository into the JcrServiceFactory rather than let it create one based on a config file? I ask this because our current Jackrabbit repository has our own node type definitions setup against it, which is done after the repository is created. Currently the OpenCMIS JCR bridge does not allow access to the JCR repository that it creates.  

Also I have a need for testing purposes to access the Jackrabbit repository created by OpenCMIS. It would be good if my test cases could have access to it so that I can prove that our Jackrabbit repository is behaving as it should when being accessed via CMIS.

Sam,

Have a look at the class parameter in the repository.properties file of 
the chemistry-opencmis-server-jcr module. That parameter specifies the 
class name of a CmisServiceFactory. The default value is 
org.apache.chemistry.opencmis.jcr.JcrServiceFactory. JcrServiceFactory 
has a protected method acquireJcrRepository() which in the default 
implementation creates a repository based on the passed parameters. You 
can override this method in a custom implementation and return whatever 
JCR repository you like.

Another approach is to use a remote JCR repository (i.e. via DavEx) and 
configure the connection parameters in repository.properties. Have a 
look at org.apache.jackrabbit.jcr2dav.Jcr2davRepositoryFactory for details.
