New page:
This document describes how to 
 * Deploy Jackrabbit with JCA.
 * Expose the local repository through JNDI and WEBDAV to remote clients.
 * Connect remotely from a java program, or from a command line tool (contrib/jcr-commands).

Feel free to make changes to this document.

=== Deploy Jackrabbit with JCA ===
 * checkout jca-connector with subversion
 * build the rar file. type "maven rar:rar"
 * remove jcr-1.0.jar from the generated rar and move it to the jboss lib folder
   [jboss]/server/default/lib.
   Remember that you must not include the jcr jar in any local client application
   at the risk of getting ClassCastExceptions when trying to access the repository 
   through JNDI.
 * copy the generated rar file to the deploy folder in jboss.
 * customize a jackrabbit datasource
   * edit [jackrabbit-jca]/deploy/jboss/4.x/jcr-ds.xml
   * change the "homeDir" property to match the folder where you want 
     jackrabbit to store its files.
   * copy the jcr-ds to the deploy folder in jboss

Now, jackrabbit is running and available through JNDI at java:jcr/local. 

 Code snippet to lookup the local repository
   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext() ;

   Repository repo = (Repository) ctx.lookup("java:jcr/local") ;

=== Expose the local repository through RMI ===

 * download jcr-rmi from svn and build it.
 * copy the generated jar to the jboss deploy folder.

Now a JCR RMI server is running at jnp://localhost:1099/jcrServer

=== Expose the local repository through Webdav ===
 * build or download jcr-server
 * remove jcr-1.0.jar from the war.
 * configure jcr-server to connect to the local repository
   * disable repository startup servlet in web.xml.
   * Change the JNDI Name.
     It must match the jndi-name set in jcr-ds.xml. default is "java:jcr/local"
   * disable JNDI environment variables for creating the initial context.
 * copy jackrabbit-server.war to the deploy folder in jboss

Now the webdav server is running at http://localhost:8080/jackrabbit-server

=== Accessing the repository remotely from the command line interface ===
 * checkout jcr-commands from subversion
 * build with "maven jar:jar"
 * unzip the generated zip file at ./target into a folder of your choice
 * copy jboss client libraries into the lib folder. 
   e.g. copy the file [jboss]/client/jbossall-client.jar to [jcr-commands]/lib
 * run the command line with the script at bin/run.bat
 * connect to the remote server. command: "jndi jcrServer".
 * login to the remote repository. command: "login [user] [password]".
 * type "help" to view the available commands.
 * type "help [command name]" for a detailed description of the given command.
