Hierarchical database or a transactional file system? Apache Jackrabbit combines some of the best features of relational databases and traditional file systems to implement a flexible high level storage solution for a wide range of applications. Jackrabbit, a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR), comes packed with features like full text search, versioning, and transactions. Built-in HTTP mappings with WebDAV extensions make content stored in Jackrabbit easily accessible in network environments. This presentation introduces you to the key concepts of JCR and shows how to use Apache Jackrabbit and related projects to build various types of content applications like wiki and blog engines, email archives or image galleries. Special emphasis is placed on a data-first approach to content design that helps make your applications extensible with little or no extra code.
