I have made a small web application with JackRabbit and the first time that
i run it I have to register the new nodetypedefinitions and the namespace
URI. Now is my question this: Is there a generic way to check whether or not
your using the repository for the first time?

I generally check whether my namespaces or nodetypes are already
registered. Something like this:

   try {
       session.getNamespacePrefix(MY_NAMESPACE);
   } catch (NamespaceException e) {
       // register the namespace(s)
   }

or:

   try {
       session.getWorkspace().getNodeTypeManager()
           .getNodeType(MY_NODETYPE);
   } catch (NoSuchNodeTypeException e) {
       // register the node type(s)
   }
