When you have created a new [Object Content Manager] in your application, you can use this component to insert, update, delete and retrieve objects. The class 'Folder' used in the following sections has to be annoted or defined in a xml file class descriptor.

This page describes only the main [Object Content Manager] methods. You can see the javadoc to get more information on the API.
You can also read the tutorial [5' with Jackrabbit OCM] to get more information on how to initialize the [Object Content Manager] (ocm).
