hi matt
Let me see if I can grasp the concept of the SPI.
The SPI contribution contains two things:
1) A JCR implementation that handles transient storage (I didn't see
this in the code base, but I did see a jcr2spi and a spi2jcr)
2) A SPI implementation that handles the persistence of that storage
I'm guessing on save in session.
...an upon all workspace operations.
actually there are 3 things:
1) the JCR implementation (jcr2spi)
2) the SPI interfaces
3) various implementations of the SPI
-> spi2jcr
-> spi-rmi
-> spi2dav
Here are a few Questions:
1) Does anyone have any information on the spi2dav contribution?
its the counterpart of the JCRWebDavServer. i.e. it
translates the spi calls to webdav calls in a way that the jcr-server
can deal with it.
Or
know of anyone that I could ask about that contribution (Julian?)?
julian is working on its own SPI implementation, which does not
form part of the jackrabbit project. as far as i understood, the
repository he connects to is a webDAV server.
2) Are there any javadocs for the SPI?
you can create them in you jackrabbit checkout by running
mvn javadoc:javadoc
inside the spi contrib. the documentation is still quite
sparse, but it may be sufficient to get an overview. in
addition there are a couple of overview-images in the
docs folder.
