Hi Kristian, This thread helped me yesterday when I got stumped on the same problem:
http://markmail.org/message/264gzqhqha4nfrxc What I did, as stated in the thread was programmatically added the custom nodetypes using CND. This will create the file <repository-home>/nodetypes/custom_nodetypes.xml, then I just copy this XML to the right directory whenever I need to create new repositories that should support my custom nodetypes. Here's the code snippet the registers the custom nodetypes ======================= Workspace ws = session.getWorkspace(); Node rn = session.getRootNode(); System.out.println("ROOT node: " + rn.getName()); JackrabbitNodeTypeManager ntManager = (JackrabbitNodeTypeManager) ws.getNodeTypeManager(); try { ntManager.registerNodeTypes (ClassLoader.getSystemResourceAsStream("mynew_nodetype.cnd"), JackrabbitNodeTypeManager.TEXT_X_JCR_CND); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } session.save(); NodeTypeIterator ntIterator = ntManager.getAllNodeTypes(); while (ntIterator.hasNext()) { System.out.println("Nodetype " + ntIterator.nextNodeType().getName()); } ======================= here's the content of mynew_nodetype.cnd [blah:file] > nt:file - blah:author - blah:section ========================== I hope this helps.

Folks; not sure whether this is an FAQ or not, please apologize and feel free to quietly point me there if so: Browsing the Jackrabbit documentation, I found quite a bunch of information on CND as well as how to register custom node types programmatically. But what about doing so declaratively? Somehow I was expecting, say, to have a conf/nodetypes/ folder (or something like that) where to place CND files to make Jackrabbit know about them. But at least in the "Jackrabbit Configuration" I didn't so far find what I was looking for. Can some kind soul enlighten me about this? :) Many thanks in advance, all the best.
