See the org.apache.jackrabbit.servlet javadocs in http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.4/. > Is it possible for me to use the line of code shown in the local.jsp page to > access > a repository in the jackrabbit app if my webapp is on the same container? Yes if you your webapp has cross-context access to be able to access the repository from the jackrabbit-webapp context. In Tomcat that requires a <Context crossContext="true"/> setting. > Will I be able to add custom node types this way? Yes if the jackrabbit-api extension interfaces are shared within the container. In Tomcat (6.x) that requires moving the jackrabbit-api jar file from WEB-INF/lib in jackrabbit-webapp to $CATALINA_HOME/lib. > I tried the example, but I ended up with an error about my > context missing the "javax.jcr.repository" attribute. Are you using the jackrabbit-jcr-servlet classes like ServletRepository to access the repository? Then instead of the code snippet in local.jsp you should be using the ContextRepositoryServlet that copies the repository reference from another context to the context of your webapp. Another point, the default attribute name is "javax.jcr.Repository" (capital R).
