I created a couple of small utilities for Jackrabbit and was wondering if other Jackrabbit users are also interested in using them. If there is interest, I wouldn't mind either setting up a Sourceforge project for them or donating them to be included in the Jackrabbit sandbox.

The first one is a DataStore implementation that uses Amazon S3 for storage. This is fairly straightforward. It is configured by adding a DataStore section to the repository.xml file, e.g.: <DataStore class="org.jcrutil.S3DataStore"> <param name="awsAccessKey" value="" /> <param name="awsSecretKey" value="" /> <param name="bucketName" value="" /> <param name="minModifiedDate" value="0" /> <param name="minRecordLength" value="0" /> </DataStore>

The second utility is a JCR based Commons VFS filesystem provider. This allows you to access a JCR repository (nt:file and nt:folder nodes) using the Commons VFS API. I've also used this with MINA FTP Server and Dctm VFS (http://dctmvfs.sourceforge.net/) to provide FTP access to a Jackrabbit repository.

The source tarball is here: http://www.minutestopost.com/jcrutil.tar.gz

If you have any questions or comments just let me know.

Thanks, Scott
