I'm using Jboss 4.2, which uses JbossWeb to deploy web applications. Anyway, there are some similar thing between Tomcat and JbossWeb and I tried the way you suggested me, but I'm getting a naming not bound exception on jcr. The webapp I'm trying to modify is written with SEAM and the component who initializes the repository is set with @Startup.
It seems strange that lots of people have no difficulties with it, maybe I'm missing something but I really don’t know what. -----Original Message----- From: Aleksei Lukin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: venerdì 10 ottobre 2008 14.00 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: accessing JCR over JNDI Friday 10 October 2008 12:57:28 Blanco Emanuele написав: Well, first question is: how do you start JCR? You need model 2 to be able to access JCR from all deployed apps. To do so you msut define global JNDI resource in tomcat's config like this: <GlobalNamingResources> ...... <!-- JackRabbit content repository // --> <Resource configFilePath="/usr/local/jackrabbit-repo/repository.xml" factory="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepositoryFactory" name="jcr/globalRepository" repHomeDir="/usr/local/jackrabbit-repo" type="javax.jcr.Repository" auth="Container" /> </GlobalNamingResources> Thus Tomcat must have all libraries of JCR available. The simpliest way is just to put all of it in ${tomcat_home}/lib So tomcat will start JCR whet it starts. Next step is configuration of web application. You must put following reference to global repo into your context.xml <ResourceLink global="jcr/globalRepository" name="jcr/repository" type="javax.jcr.Repository"/> After that ytou can obtain JNDI access to JCR with following code: BindableRepository jrepository = null; try { InitialContext context = new InitialContext(); Context environment = (Context) context.lookup("java:comp/env"); jrepository = (BindableRepository) environment.lookup("/jcr/repository"); ...} the best place for this code is public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) method of application listener. Then you can bind repository to web application context and use in any place of your application. -- SY, Alex Lukin RIPE NIC HDL: LEXA1-RIPE -- The information transmitted is intended for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
