Hi all, I did a research on the email list to see if someone has run  
into
this.

I'm trying to register a CND file a created. Jackrabbit web page  
suggests
the following [1].

My question is, where should I place that piece of code? Since it  
receives a
session, i figure that the CND is attached to a workspace.

Is there any way to execute this code at the moment the repository is
created so that the new node types are available for all workspaces?

the node type registry is repository-global, i.e. the registered node  
types are available in all workspaces.

I hope my questions make sense.

Thanks

import javax.jcr.Session;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.api.JackrabbitNodeTypeManager;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class CustomNodeTypeExample {
   public static void RegisterCustomNodeTypes(Session session, String
cndFileName)
       throws Exception {

       // Get the JackrabbitNodeTypeManager from the Workspace.
       // Note that it must be cast from the generic JCR  
NodeTypeManager to the
       // Jackrabbit-specific implementation.
       JackrabbitNodeTypeManager manager = (JackrabbitNodeTypeManager)
              session.getWorkspace().getNodeTypeManager();
       // Register the custom node types defined in the CND file
       manager.registerNodeTypes(new FileInputStream(cndFileName),
              JackrabbitNodeTypeManager.TEXT_X_JCR_CND);
   }
}
