The Apache Jackrabbit is an open source content repository for the Java platform. It is a fully conforming and featured implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API.
A content repository is an information management system that provides various services for storing, accessing, and managing content. In addition to a hierarchically structured storage, common services of a content repository are versioning, access control, full text searching, and event monitoring. A content repository is not a content management system (CMS), although most existing CMSs contain a custom content repository implementation, often based on the file system or a relational database.
Typical applications that use content repositories include content management, document management, and records management systems.
Features include:
- JSR 170 reference implementation.
- Fine and coarse-grained content access.
- Hierarchical content storage.
- Structured content.
- Node types and mixins.
- Property types – text, number, date.
- Binary properties.
