Some ideas that may be helpful.
If you want to search inside Jackrabbit using its internal search
engine, you are going to have to extract the text on the way in.
I think that this means using the appropriate tool to read the content
from the incoming document and creating a document linked to the
original that can be searched by Jackrabbit and then used to find the
original PDF or DOC or XLS, etc. to present to the user.
This should be possible for most of the common documents since there are
Apache tools such as POI that let you read DOC and XLS files and extract
the content.
http://pdfbox.apache.org
http://poi.apache.org/
http://www.swftools.org/
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Xml
This can be a reasonably general solution if you add a facility that
allows users to manually write a document summary or keyword list for
documents in formats that you do not support or that do not contain text
that describes their content or usage - CAD drawings, Quickbooks
backups, database backups, etc.
I hope that this gives you something to think about until a real
Jackrabbit expert shows up.

Hello.
I've been able to use a repository in my JSF application at last. If
someone has a similar problem, I can help him.
Now, I would like to insert some files (.doc, .pdf, ...), and search
for words into them, like google.
I suposse that I'll have to use text extractors, and I'll have to
configure the repository to index the files.
Does anybody know where I can find some examples?
Can anyone tell me where to look for?
Thanks

Did you get the example from
http://jackrabbit.apache.org/first-hops.html working?
You probably should get Eclipse working with Maven. That will get
rid of some of the headaches.
If you want a fast way to get up and running with Exclipse and Maven
try Eclipse STS. It is an Eclipse that comes out of the box with all
the plug-ins that you need to develop Java applications with Maven.
This get rid of the need to set up software on classpaths manually.
Once you have the first hop demo working, you should be able to make
your simple web app.
At least you will have specific log messages to talk about.

I'm very new at java, javaEE, web-development world, and, of
course, jackrabbit environment.
I'm a student and I'm working in my degree project. An "easy"
document management system.
I only need users to get their documents and to be able to search
groups of words into them (PDF, DOC, XLS ...) like a google search.
I've heard about jackrabbit's benefits, so I've decided to use it.
(I suposse jackrabbit can do those task ?)
I am developing an "easy" JSF application with Primefaces, Mysql...
and now, I'm in the phase when I have to manage the documents.
I've read the JSR 283 specification, and I undestand it more or
less. My problem is how to begin.
I need someone to show me a simple example to create and access a
repository. The repository only have to work with my application in
a tomcat server.
I've been looking for information on the Internet and I'm absolutely
lost. Everyone say different things. I haven't been able to find an
"easy" example about I need.
In Jackrabbit's web, I've been reading about deployments models,
stand-alone server, Jackrabbit Web application, Jackrabbit JCA
Resource Adapter ...
Oh my god! Is it really so difficult what I want to do? I don't
think so, perhaps I'm getting older...
I only need:
1º when a client access the application for the first time, the
repository will be created in a specified path.
2º Clients will upload files, search for content, and download them.
I'm now in the first point. Can anyone help me?
I use the eclipse IDE and I don't use maven.
What "jars" must I include in my classpath?
what java instructions do I need to create and set up the
repository? In the JSR specification, they use the RepositoryFactory
class. Is it the way to do it?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my ignorance.
