Hi, You might know of CRaSH (http://vietj.github.com/crash/), which is a new extensible shell for the Java platform. It has an extension to provide a shell to JCR implementations of eXo Platform and for Jackrabbit 2.2.x (it might work in a 2.4.x). It can be run it standalone mode or as a war and can connect to a running instance of Jackrabbit through RMI or JNDI (but I didn't test it as a RAR since it is embedded in our EAR). For some example on how to have a war you can check how we use it at Silverpeas : https://github.com/Silverpeas/silverpeas-crash.
This give you the commands I use to connect to my instance of Jackrabbit : % use org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.uri=jndi://;org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.jndi.name=java:jcr/local org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepository@184cd10c % ws login -u SilverAdmin -p SilverAdmin jackrabbit Connected to workspace jackrabbit % ls / +-properties | +-jcr:primaryType: rep:root +-children +-/ Cheers, Emmanuel
