Thanks again for your response Ron.
It seems you're the one in the mailing list. Perhaps people are on their
holidays.
I'm beginning to realize that I was wrong.
Because of your response, I've been looking for information and I've found
Apache Lucene and Apache Tika. I have to try both, but it seems that they
can work toghether for extracting and indexing files, and tika supports lots
of formats.
I'm considering that I don't need to use jackrabbit for my application
actually. Perhaps, I only need those tools to search inside the files I want
to store.
I'm think I don't need a repository. I can save the properties of the files
in a database, and the files in normal folders.
I think it'd be pretty easy for me because I'm used to work with databases,
but I've never worked with a repository.
In fact, I was going to use the repository for its search capabilities, but
I'm realizing that I don't need it.
I'm going to try with Lucene and Tika first.
Thanks a lot.

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.
