Hi,
as discussed in Thread
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jackrabbit.devel/2723 I
managed to Run Jackrabbit on Websphere.
I am also using Websphere as client for the Jackrabbit-RMI Server. I
defined a Resource Provider in WAS Admin console, represented in the
config file (resources.xml) as:
<resources.env:ResourceEnvironmentProvider
xmi:id="ResourceEnvironmentProvider_1120984557445"
name="JackrabbitRepository">
<factories xmi:type="resources.env:ResourceEnvEntry"
xmi:id="ResourceEnvEntry_1120984728292" name="jcr/repository"
jndiName="jcr/repository" referenceable="Referenceable_1120984634775" />
<propertySet xmi:id="J2EEResourcePropertySet_1120984805341">
<resourceProperties xmi:id="J2EEResourceProperty_1120984805341"
name="url" type="java.lang.String" value="rmi://srv-entw/repository"
required="false" />
</propertySet>
<referenceables xmi:id="Referenceable_1120984634775"
factoryClassname="org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.client.ClientRepositoryFactory"
classname="javax.jcr.Repository" />
</resources.env:ResourceEnvironmentProvider>
After starting the Jackrabbit-RMI Server, it is no problem to access
this resource from within a servlet or portlet:
InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
Context environment = (Context) context.lookup("java:comp/env");
Repository repository = (Repository) environment.lookup("jcr/repository");
Session session = repository.login(new
SimpleCredentials("userid", "".toCharArray()), null);
But when I shut down the Jackrabbit-RMI Server and start it again, my
servlets or portlets are not able to connect to the resource again and I
get an RMI Error.
When restarting the WAS everything works fine again. Perhaps anybody
using Jackrabbit-RMI Server with Tomcat another Container?
Anybody can tell me what is the source of the Problem? Is it the
ClientRepositoryFactory, does WAS cache the connection?
Another Question: Is there a disadvantage when accessing the Repository
directly from within the servlet (instead of using a JNDI Resource):
ClientRepositoryFactory factory = new ClientRepositoryFactory();
Repository r = factory.getRepository("rmi://srv-entw/repository");
Session session = r.login(new SimpleCredentials("userid",
"".toCharArray()), null);
Thank you for your answers.
