Java::JCR 0.08

Java::JCR is a module to use JSR 170 (JCR) repositories from Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Java::JCR;
use Java::JCR::Jackrabbit;

my $repository = Java::JCR::Jackrabbit->new;
my $session = $repository->login(
Java::JCR::SimpleCredentials->new(username, password)
);

my $root = $session->get_root_node;
my $node = $root->add_node(foo, nt:unstructured);
$node->set_property(bar, 10);
$node->set_property(baz, blah);
$node->set_property(qux, 4.8);
$session->save;

The JSR 170 specification describes a Java-based API for access hierarchical databases. This is generally referred to by the abbreviation JCR, which is an abbreviation for Content Repository API for Java Technology Specification.

The biggest OSS implementation, as of this writing, is Jackrabbit, which is a project at the Apache Software Foundation, http://jackrabbit.apache.org/. Currently, this library allows Perl programmers to develop using the JCR and Jackrabbit, though, theres no reason why connectors cant be written for other implementations, such as Jaceira, CRX, eXoplatform, etc. The JCR library wrappers included are not at all specific to Jackrabbit.
