Seam JCR

The Seam JCR Module aims to simplify the integration points between JCR implementations and CDI applications.

The Seam JCR module is compatible with JCR 2.0 implementations. It strictly compiles against JCR 2.0. However, test cases are executed against both ModeShape and JackRabbit to ensure compatibility.

If you are using Maven as your build tool, you can add the following single dependency to your pom.xml file to include Seam JCR:

<dependency>

   <groupId>org.jboss.seam.jcr</groupId>

   <artifactId>seam-jcr</artifactId>

   <version>${seam.jcr.version}</version>

</dependency>

        

Alternatively, you can use the API at compile time and only include the implementation at runtime. This protects you from inadvertantly depending on an implementation class.

<dependency>

   <groupId>org.jboss.seam.jcr</groupId>

   <artifactId>seam-jcr-api</artifactId>

   <version>${seam.jcr.version}</version>

   <scope>compile</scope>

</dependency>



<dependency>

   <groupId>org.jboss.seam.jcr</groupId>

   <artifactId>seam-jcr-impl</artifactId>

   <version>${seam.jcr.version}</version>

   <scope>runtime</scope>

</dependency>

        

In order to activate ModeShape support within your application, you need to include ModeShape on your classpath. At a minimum, the following maven dependencies must be satisfied.

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.modeshape</groupId>

    <artifactId>modeshape-jcr</artifactId>

    <version>${modeshape.version}</version>

</dependency>

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.apache.lucene</groupId>

    <artifactId>lucene-core</artifactId>

    <version>${lucene.version}</version>

</dependency>

        

In order to use ModeShape's Repository and Session objects in your application, you must define an injection point using the JcrConfiguration annotation based on ModeShape's required configuration parameters. Please review the ModeShape getting started guide for further details.

    @Inject @JcrConfiguration(name="org.modeshape.jcr.URL",value="file:path/to/modeshape.xml?repositoryName=MyRepo")
    Repository repository;

    @Inject @JcrConfiguration(name="org.modeshape.jcr.URL",value="file:path/to/modeshape.xml?repositoryName=MyRepo")
    Session session;

In order to activate JackRabbit support within your application, you need to include JackRabbit on your classpath. At a minimum, the following maven dependency must be satisfied.

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>

    <artifactId>jackrabbit-core</artifactId>

    <version>${jackrabbit.version}</version>

</dependency>

        

In order to use JackRabbit's Repository and Session objects in your application, you must define an injection point using the JcrConfiguration annotation based on JackRabbit's required configuration parameters.

    @Inject @JcrConfiguration(name="org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.home",value="target")
    Repository repository;

    @Inject @JcrConfiguration(name="org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.home",value="target")
    Session session;
