Java Content Repository (JSR 170)
Many developers think the Java Content Repository (JSR 170) is only useful for building Content Management Systems. As Tom Wheeler points out in this presentation, it's actually an overlooked and versatile API for general data storage and retrieval. Offering features such as transaction management, remote access and versioning, the Java Content Repository has the potential to replace RDBMS, XML documents, properties files and other data storage mechanisms.
This session will provide a solid introduction to the Java Content Repository, including:
- The Java Content Repository API
- History of JSR-170 and future directions
- Comparison to other data management techniques
- Discussion of available implementations, with a focus on open source versions
- A practical example using JCR in lieu of a traditional RDBMS
