Title: Basic OCM operations
When you have created a new [Object Content Manager](object-content-manager.html)
 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](object-content-manager.html)
 methods. You can see the javadoc to get more information on the API.
You can also read the tutorial [5' with Jackrabbit OCM](5'-with-jackrabbit-ocm.html)
 to get more information on how to initialize the [Object Content Manager]
 (ocm).
