Jackrabbit allow user integrate JAAS with its repository. However, you must write custom JAAS Login Module, it is not belong Spring section. Try to Security section in jackrabbit configuration file:

< Security appName=”Jackrabbit” >
class=”org.apache.jackrabbit.core.security.simple.SimpleSecurityManager”
workspaceName=”security”>
…

To do your request, you must create your own implementation to replace SimpleLoginModule, SimpleSecurityManager, SimpleAccessManager also create jcrSessionFactory instance and access repository by yourself (not hard-code ‘credentials’ in spring configuration file).

Very goog article! An now my “problem”: I wish to propagate the web user name to the jackrabbit session space. So, I don’t want to provide the “credentials” into the “jcrSessionFactory” bean configuration. But when I access to the repository, the session.getUserID() is returning “anonymous”. There is an additional configuration for this?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, searching the JCR node contents/attributes for matches is exactly what I have in mind. It is still early in my project so this part is not required yet, but it will be coming soon. I will make a start on it and also get familiar with the jackrabbit ocm source code. Thanks for your help so far!

Larson,
You are right to state about the purpose of tag classes. It is used to for searching documents (You see the result at the screenshots http://www.flickr.com/photos/37821412@N04/3697666512/sizes/o/in/set-72157621082360806/). However, document type is one of many contents we would like to support tag (a CRM Lead could be tagged or a project is also be tagged etc), to make loose coupling with Document module , other modules need to tag resources and Tag module, we use Spring Integration and ActiveMQ (Follows publish-subscribe pattern) and we send message contains tag resource to Tag module in asynchronous way. Search content base tag is simply retrieving information from database only whether tag module keeps information of tag and resource information.

However, I guess that you need to seek the solutions to search JCR node match contents (and/or its attributes), as our result like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/37821412@N04/3749630828/sizes/o/in/set-72157621082360806/ ? I worked with Jackrabbit deep in source code and I admitted that searching in jackrabbit ocm is not easy than using core api. If you fall into this issue, you could post more detail your problems, I will give a hand if I can

Thanks for this extremely helpful demo project!
I am curious about one part of the project:
In the domain package, there are Tag and TagExample classes as well as a tags[] property in the File class. These are not used in the test package — can you explain how they would be used (I would imagine for searching) and provide a small example?
