Spring modules for JCR

When you are building applications using Spring and JCR with a repository like Apache Jackrabbit, the newly released JCR Spring module (see org.springmodules: spring-modules-jcr 0.7) might be for you.

It contains Spring FactoryBeans that allow you to access JCR repositories directly, via RMI or JNDI.

Happy new year to all my readers. This morning, a pice by Carlos E. Perez caught my eye:Software Development Trends for 2007. Some of the trends are already catched up by Mindquarry, e.g.
  • Dynamic Programming Languages - Mindquarry's core functionality is written in dynamic languages like Javascript and declarative programming languages like XSLT and JX
  • Java Content Repository - Mindquarry uses Apache Jackrabbit, because "Organizations will begin to worry about their creaky poorly supported CMS and begin towards safeguarding their content assets by migrating to a JCR implementation."
  • Life after EJB - Mindquarry uses Cocoon 2.2 which in turn uses Spring as a component framework and we are very happy with it.
