Mark Slater commented on JCR-318:
---------------------------------

I'm still new to this, but as I understand it, the BindableRepository object is 
what is bound to the JNDI context, not the RepositoryImpl inside. Why not add a 
"restart" function to BindableRepository? It could be essentially the same as 
the current init() function. That's the same process that 
RegistryHelper.registerRepository() would trigger, but doesn't try to replace 
the BindableRepository object in the JNDI. Unless there's a reason not to do it 
that way, I'll try to code it up and submit a patch in the next few days or so.

> Using JNDI to create a model 1 (embedded) repository as suggested in the 
> documentation 
> (http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/doc/deploy/howto-model1.html) returns 
> a BindableRepository instance to the web app. The same documentation page 
> strongly recommends the webapp calls RepositoryImpl.shutdown() in the 
> servlet's destroy() method. However, since BindableRepository is restricted 
> to its package, there is no way for the webapp to access the RepositoryImpl. 
> The RepositoryHelper class provides a unregisterRepository() method which can 
> perform the shutdown. Unfortunately, the method does not allow the repository 
> to be restarted later on, forcing a full restart of Tomcat. The exception 
> thrown when trying to access a repository shut down in this manner in a 
> re-deployed webapp is:
> java.lang.IllegalStateException: repository instance has been shut down
>

> It may be useful to merge the transient capabilities of TransientRepository 
> into BindableRepository, perhaps making it a factory configuration option. I 
> imagine there's a performance hit to opening a repository, in a shared 
> deployment environment, where the lifecycle is controlled by the application 
> server, it would probably be best to not have the repository be transient.
