creating user problem in remote repository instance

[Salinas, Jesús <js...@indra.es>]

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie jackrabbit user who has a problem getting the jackrabbit repository instance and creating an user.

The repository is deployed and running correctly in Tomcat 6.0. In my own Servlet I get a local repository instance to create an user this way, using the RepositoryAccessServlet class which obtains the repository by JNDI:

ServletContext ctx = getServletContext();
RepositoryAccessServlet ras = RepositoryAccessServlet.getInstance(ctx);
Repository repositorio = ras.getRepository();

To create the user, after log into the repository, I get the UserManager for the session. It is necessary to cast the interface Session to SessionImpl class because the interface doesn't provide getUserManager method.

Session sesionadmin = repositorio.login(new SimpleCredentials("admin", "admin".toCharArray()));
umanager = ((SessionImpl) sesionadmin).getUserManager();
umanager.createUser(login, password);
sesionadmin.save();

There's no problem at this point. However, if I try to access the repository from another Java project, to do the same operation, I need to get the repository by RMI because I haven't any ServletContext.

Repository repositorio = new URLRemoteRepository(url)

Logged in the repository a ClassCastException is thrown when the line umanager = ((SessionImpl) sesionadmin).getUserManager(); is reached, because sessionadmin is an instance of ClientXASession and cannot be cast to SessionImpl.

¿There's another way to create an user following the jackrabbit API interfaces and not the Impl classes? If it's not possible, ¿how can access the repository in a local way from a Java class in a different project not a Servlet?

Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Jesús
