Accessing a repository via JNDI is NOT working

[keehwan1]

I tried to access a repository in a component using the code below. This code below do not work in CQ5.6.1. This code is from http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/developing/examples.html.

Error comes from line 73(Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository(uri);).

Can you please show why this does not work?

Thanks in advance.

[code]

   String uri = "jndi://crx"

       + "?org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.jndi.name=crx"

       + "&java.naming.provider.url=http://jcr.day.com"

       + "&java.naming.factory.initial"

       + "=com.day.util.jndi.provider.MemoryInitialContextFactory";

   // With CRX 2.2 or higher the above URI can be simplified to:

   //  "jndi://com.day.util.jndi.provider.MemoryInitialContextFactory/crx"

   Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository(uri);

Hello,

It is not recommended to use JNDI to access repository outside CRX. Please use WebDav instead. Here is example http://wemcode.wemblog.com/accessrepository 

This will be as simple as Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository("http://localhost:7402/crx/server"); Also make sure that you have required jar files in your class path.

You might also want to see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4734716 in case you need some additional jar files in your standalone application classpath.
