Jackrabbit JCR to SPI

   This is the JCR to SPI component of the Apache Jackrabbit project.
   It provides and exposes the JCR API to the application and is a
   consumer of an implementation of the {{{spi.html} SPI interfaces}}.
   
   Jackrabbit JCR to SPI is intended to act as a generic implementation
   of the transient component that is layered on top of the persistent 
   state of the JCR repository. The latter is is represented by the 
   SPI implementation.
   
   This means that JCR to SPI handles
   
        * transient storage of pending changes.

        * resolution of namespaces to prefixes.

        * Session-local namespace mappings.

        * Session-mediated XML import.

        * XML export.
