Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit -- Version 1.5.6 Introduction ------------ Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and more. See the Jackrabbit web site at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for more information. Apache Jackrabbit 1.5.6 is a bug fix release that fixes issues reported against previous releases. This release is fully compatible with the earlier 1.5.x releases. See below for a full listing of fixes included in this release. Changes in this release ----------------------- All the fixes in this release are listed below per affected component. The modified components have had their version numbers upgraded to 1.5.6; other components are still at their previous 1.5.x versions. jackrabbit-core Bug fixes [JCR-1633] When node is created and locked in same transaction, ... [JCR-1964] VirtualNodeTypeStateProvider creates PropertyState with type ...

Release Contents ---------------- This release consists of a single source archive (jackrabbit-1.5.6-src.jar) that contains all the Apache Jackrabbit components. Use the following commands (or the equivalent in your system) to build the release with Maven 2 and Java 1.4 or higher: jar xf jackrabbit-1.5.6-src.jar cd jackrabbit-1.5.6 mvn install Note that the OCM components require Java 5 or higher, and are not included in the build when using Java 1.4. The source archive is accompanied by SHA1 and MD5 checksums and a PGP signature that you can use to verify the authenticity of your download. The public key used for the PGP signature can be found at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/dist/KEYS. The build will result in the following components (with artifactIds in parenthesis) being built and installed in your local Maven repository. Pre-built binary artifacts of these components are also available on the on the central Maven repository. * Jackrabbit Parent POM (jackrabbit-parent) The Maven parent POM for all Jackrabbit components. * Jackrabbit API (jackrabbit-api) Interface extensions that Apache Jackrabbit supports in addition to the standard JCR API. * Jackrabbit JCR Commons (jackrabbit-jcr-commons) General-purpose classes for use with the JCR API. * Jackrabbit JCR Tests (jackrabbit-jcr-tests) Set of JCR API test cases designed for testing the compliance of an implementation. Note that this is not the official JCR TCK! * Jackrabbit JCR Benchmarks (jackrabbit-jcr-benchmark) Framework for JCR performance tests. * Jackrabbit Core (jackrabbit-core) Core of the Apache Jackrabbit content repository implementation. * Jackrabbit Text Extractors (jackrabbit-text-extractors) Text extractor classes that allow Jackrabbit to extract text content from binary properties for full text indexing. * Jackrabbit JCR-RMI (jackrabbit-jcr-rmi) RMI remoting layer for the JCR API. * Jackrabbit WebDAV Library (jackrabbit-webdav) Interfaces and common utility classes used for building a WebDAV server or client. * Jackrabbit JCR Server (jackrabbit-jcr-server) WebDAV servlet implementations based on JCR. * Jackrabbit JCR Servlets (jackrabbit-jcr-servlet) Set of servlets and other classes designed to make it easier to use Jackrabbit and other JCR content repositories in web applications. * Jackrabbit Repository Classloader (jackrabbit-classloader) Java classloader for loading classes from JCR content repositories. * Jackrabbit Web Application (jackrabbit-webapp) Deployable Jackrabbit installation with WebDAV support for JCR. * Jackrabbit JCA Resource Adapter (jackrabbit-jca) J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA) resource adapter for Jackrabbit. * Jackrabbit SPI (jackrabbit-spi) The SPI defines a layer within a JSR-170 implementation that separates the transient space from the persistent layer. * Jackrabbit SPI Commons (jackrabbit-spi-commons) This component contains generic utility classes that might be used to build an SPI implementation. * Jackrabbit SPI2JCR (jackrabbit-spi2jcr) This component contains a SPI implementation wrapping around an implementation of JSR-170. * Jackrabbit JCR2SPI (jackrabbit-jcr2spi) This component contains an implementation of the JSR-170 API and covers the functionality that is not delegated to the SPI implementation. * Jackrabbit Standalone (jackrabbit-standalone) Jackrabbit server in a self-contained runnable jar. * Jackrabbit OCM (jackrabbit-ocm) Object-Content mapping tool for persisting and accessing Java objects in a JCR content repository. * Jackrabbit OCM Node Management (jackrabbit-ocm-nodemanagement) This component simplifies registration of node types and namespaces referenced in OCM mapping descriptors.
