Apache Jackrabbit
Apache Jackrabbit is a fully conforming implementation of the Content Repository for Java Technology API (JCR). A content repository is a hierarchical content store with support for structured and unstructured content, full text search, versioning, transactions, observation, and more.

Since its launch in 2005 Apache Jackrabbit has quickly become the leading Java Content Repository (JCR) for the open source industry. Day Software is the initiator of the underlying industry standard JSR 170 and is leading an industry expert group with members such as IBM, Oracle, Sun, HP and many others who all support the standard.

“Apache Jackrabbit is an attractive option for companies who want to move away from expensive, proprietary legacy repositories and are looking for a cost efficient, standards-based alternative,” said David Nüscheler, CTO of Day Software and SpecLead of the JSR170 expert group. “The Apache Software Foundation is the industry’s most trusted provider of reliable open source technology. So far however the lack of enterprise class support and services prevented companies to make full use of Apache Jackrabbit. We are now filling this gap.”

With Day’s CTO, David Nuescheler, serving as the specification lead for the standard, Day had the responsibility for developing the Reference Implementation (RI) and the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) for JCR. Delivery of these key technology components signifies the finalization of the standard. Companies now wishing to develop products based on the standard will need to run their products against the TCK process to validate functionality.
