Liferay Jackrabbit Oracle integration

Follow these steps to integrate Liferay, Jackrabbit, and Oracle.

Step 1 :

Copy the below lines into portal-ext.properties

dl.hook.impl=com.liferay.documentlibrary.util.JCRHook
jcr.initialize.on.startup=true
jcr.workspace.name=liferay
jcr.node.documentlibrary=documentlibrary
jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root=${liferay.home}/data/jackrabbit
jcr.jackrabbit.config.file.path=${jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root}/repository.xml
jcr.jackrabbit.repository.home=${jcr.jackrabbit.repository.root}/home
jcr.jackrabbit.credentials.username=none
jcr.jackrabbit.credentials.password=none



Step 2 :

Replace the content of liferay-installation/data/jackrabbit/repository.xml with below xml text and then restart

Did you find that after configuring Jackrabbit to use Oracle, Lucene stopped indexing files? I wondered if that was the reason for you using Solr in your next post.

We never had issues with Lucene after doing this. SOLR was necessary since we had a Cluster environment.

I have a cluster environment, but I have some issue regarding JackRabbit. I have quite your configuration (in repository.xml I uncommented also the Cluster TAG), but I see that the binary data is written to the file system. The problem is that binary file is written only in the cluster node where I uploaded it. Did you use a shared folder for JackRabbit workspaces?

Hi Mohammed,

Have you done clustering on jackrabbit with MS SQL server 2008 for storing documents and images?

I am getting row lock error.

Your help is appreciated.

Sorry, never used MS SQL Server,
BTW you can checkout this thread http://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/view_message/10315622

JPA 2 new feature @ElementCollection explained

@ElementCollection is new annotation introduced in JPA 2.0, This will help us get rid of One-Many and Many-One shitty syntax. Example 1: Stores list of Strings in an Entity @Entity public class Users implements Serializable {     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;     @Id     @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)     private Long id;     @ElementCollection     private List<String> certifications = new ArrayList <String> ();     public Long getId() {         return id;     }     public void setId(Long id) {         this.id = id;     }     public List <String> getCertifications() {         return certifications;     }     public void setCertifications(List <String> certifications) {         this.certifications = certifications;     } .. }         Users u = new Users();         u.getCertifications().add("Sun Certified Java Programmer");         em.persist(u); Generated Tables    Users    Co

Reuse JPA Entities as DTO

Note : Major design advantages of JPA Entities are they can detached and used across tiers and networks and later can by merged. Checkout this new way of querying entities in JPA 2.0 String ql = " SELECT new prepclass2.Employee (e.firstname, e.lastname) FROM Employee e "; List<Employee> dtos = em.createQuery(ql).getResultList(); The above query loads all Employee entities but with subset of data i.e. firstname, lastname. Employee entity looks like this. @Entity @Table(name="emp") public class Employee implements Serializable {     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;     @Id     @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)     private Long id;     @Column     private String firstname;     @Column     private String lastname;     @Column     private String username;     @Column     private String street;     @Column     private String city;     @Column     private String state;     @Column     private String zipc

Validating CSV Files

What is CsvValidator ?   A Java framework which validates any CSV files something similar to XML validation using XSD. Why should I use this ?   You don't have to use this and in fact its easy to write something your own and also checkout its source code for reference. Why did I write this ?   Some of our projects integrate with third party application which exchanges information in CSV files so I thought of writing a generic validator which can be hooked in multiple projects or can be used by QA for integration testing. What is the license clause ?   GNU GPL v2 Are there any JUnit test cases for me checkout ?  Yes,  source How to integrate in my existing project ? Just add the Jar which can be downloaded from here  CsvValidator.jar  and you are good. Instantiate  CsvValidator c onstructor which takes these 3 arguements          // filename is the the file to be validated and here is a  sample         // list - defines all the fields in the above csv file ( a
