Recently you wrote about custom importer - could you give me an example? The
thing I need mostly in JackRabbit is an ability to import large XML files
with low memory usage.
See below for an (undocumented) example I quickly wrote in one
project. It implements a basic XML-to-JCR mapping that's roughly like
the standard document view, but lacks all advanced features like node
type handling, references, etc.
The essential part in achieving huge imports is the following snippet
that saves the pending changes every now and then:
count++;
if (count % 100 == 0) {
node.getSession().save();
}
Note that this only works for content (nt:unstructured) that allows
partial saves. Otherwise you might easily get an exception when trying
to save when all required children of a node have not yet been added.
Supporting such cases requires adding extra logic to the importer.
