Built with Seam

Active development of Seam JCR has been halted by Red Hat. Functionality has been absorbed by the Modeshape project.

JCR Module

Seam JCR is a portable extension for CDI to a JCR (Java Content Repository) 2.0 compliant implementation (JSR-283). For now, we are testing against both JBoss Modeshape and Apache Jackrabbit (reference implementation).

To get started, add the following dependencies to your pom.xml: 

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.jboss.seam.jcr</groupId>
   <artifactId>seam-jcr-api</artifactId>
   <version>3.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.jboss.seam.jcr</groupId>
   <artifactId>seam-jcr</artifactId>
   <version>3.1.0.Final</version>
   <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
* Maven artifacts are located in the JBoss Community Repository. Find out more about this repository.

Design notes

This section serves as a whiteboard for design and ideas for this module. Once you've decided to pursue a feature, it should be added to JIRA as a feature request and linked from this page. It's up to you whether to keep the design notes or remove them once the JIRA issue has been created.

JCR to CDI Event Bridging

Goal: Be able to map JCR events to CDI events.

Implemented:

If you use our proxied repository implementation, it will be automatically bound. Events are fired after the session is logged out and depending on the implementation in use the CDI events will occur in a background thread (ModeShape uses background threads). As a result, you cannot depend on a user session being active in the event firing.
