I created a couple of small utilities for Jackrabbit and was
wondering if other Jackrabbit users are also interested in using
them. If there is interest, I wouldn't mind either setting up a
Sourceforge project for them or donating them to be included in the
Jackrabbit sandbox.
The first one is a DataStore implementation that uses Amazon S3 for
storage. This is fairly straightforward. It is configured by adding a
DataStore section to the repository.xml file, e.g.:
<DataStore class="org.jcrutil.S3DataStore">
<param name="awsAccessKey" value="" />
<param name="awsSecretKey" value="" />
<param name="bucketName" value="" />
<param name="minModifiedDate" value="0" />
<param name="minRecordLength" value="0" />
</DataStore>
The second utility is a JCR based Commons VFS filesystem provider.
This allows you to access a JCR repository (nt:file and nt:folder
nodes) using the Commons VFS API. I've also used this with MINA FTP
Server and Dctm VFS (http://dctmvfs.sourceforge.net/) to provide FTP
access to a Jackrabbit repository.
The source tarball is here: http://www.minutestopost.com/jcrutil.tar.gz
If you have any questions or comments just let me know.
Thanks,
Scott
