Lucene is embedded in Jackrabbit.
You should look at Solr (http://lucene.apache.org/solr/)
"Solr is a standalone enterprise search server with a REST-like API. You
put documents in it (called "indexing") via XML, JSON, CSV or binary
over HTTP. You query it via HTTP GET and receive XML, JSON, CSV or
binary results."
A repository might be helpful in organizing a document library in
multiple virtual hierarchies without duplication.
It also gives you a lot of flexibility in access control.
But you may not need one.

Thanks again for your response Ron.
It seems you're the one in the mailing list. Perhaps people are on
their holidays.
I'm beginning to realize that I was wrong.
Because of your response, I've been looking for information and I've
found Apache Lucene and Apache Tika. I have to try both, but it seems
that they can work toghether for extracting and indexing files, and
tika supports lots of formats.
I'm considering that I don't need to use jackrabbit for my application
actually. Perhaps, I only need those tools to search inside the files
I want to store.
I'm think I don't need a repository. I can save the properties of the
files in a database, and the files in normal folders.
I think it'd be pretty easy for me because I'm used to work with
databases, but I've never worked with a repository.
In fact, I was going to use the repository for its search
capabilities, but I'm realizing that I don't need it.
I'm going to try with Lucene and Tika first.
Thanks a lot.

Some ideas that may be helpful.
If you want to search inside Jackrabbit using its internal search
engine, you are going to have to extract the text on the way in.
I think that this means using the appropriate tool to read the
content from the incoming document and creating a document linked to
the original that can be searched by Jackrabbit and then used to find
the original PDF or DOC or XLS, etc. to present to the user.
This should be possible for most of the common documents since there
are Apache tools such as POI that let you read DOC and XLS files and
extract the content.
http://pdfbox.apache.org
http://poi.apache.org/
http://www.swftools.org/
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Xml
This can be a reasonably general solution if you add a facility that
allows users to manually write a document summary or keyword list
for documents in formats that you do not support or that do not
contain text that describes their content or usage - CAD drawings,
Quickbooks backups, database backups, etc.
I hope that this gives you something to think about until a real
Jackrabbit expert shows up.

Hello.
I've been able to use a repository in my JSF application at last. If
someone has a similar problem, I can help him.
Now, I would like to insert some files (.doc, .pdf, ...), and search
for words into them, like google.
I suposse that I'll have to use text extractors, and I'll have to
configure the repository to index the files.
Does anybody know where I can find some examples?
Can anyone tell me where to look for?
Thanks

Did you get the example from
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/first-hops.html working?
You probably should get Eclipse working with Maven. That will get
rid of some of the headaches.
If you want a fast way to get up and running with Exclipse and
Maven try Eclipse STS. It is an Eclipse that comes out of the box
with all the plug-ins that you need to develop Java applications
with Maven.
This get rid of the need to set up software on classpaths manually.
Once you have the first hop demo working, you should be able to
make your simple web app.
At least you will have specific log messages to talk about.

I'm very new at java, javaEE, web-development world, and, of
course, jackrabbit environment.
I'm a student and I'm working in my degree project. An "easy"
document management system.
I only need users to get their documents and to be able to search
groups of words into them (PDF, DOC, XLS ...) like a google search.
I've heard about jackrabbit's benefits, so I've decided to use it.
(I suposse jackrabbit can do those task ?)
I am developing an "easy" JSF application with Primefaces,
Mysql... and now, I'm in the phase when I have to manage the
documents.
I've read the JSR 283 specification, and I undestand it more or
less. My problem is how to begin.
I need someone to show me a simple example to create and access a
repository. The repository only have to work with my application
in a tomcat server.
I've been looking for information on the Internet and I'm
absolutely lost. Everyone say different things. I haven't been
able to find an "easy" example about I need.
In Jackrabbit's web, I've been reading about deployments models,
stand-alone server, Jackrabbit Web application, Jackrabbit JCA
Resource Adapter ...
Oh my god! Is it really so difficult what I want to do? I don't
think so, perhaps I'm getting older...
I only need:
1º when a client access the application for the first time, the
repository will be created in a specified path.
2º Clients will upload files, search for content, and download them.
I'm now in the first point. Can anyone help me?
I use the eclipse IDE and I don't use maven.
What "jars" must I include in my classpath?
what java instructions do I need to create and set up the
repository? In the JSR specification, they use the
RepositoryFactory class. Is it the way to do it?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my ignorance.
