JSR 170: Java Content Repository


It seems that the JSR170 : the Java Content Repository is getting more and more attention.

This is a very important step in the (Enterprise) Content Management world, while we now see a market where 500+ closed source and 200+ open source products are available.
All those products - at least - claim to provide content management functionality.

What is the JSR170?
The JSR 170 is a JAVA API for a Content Management Repository, however this does not mean you are locked in by using Java.
Important is that it separates the Business and Presentation tier from the Repository.

A big advantage is the repository can be changed if needed or split over different repositories or consolidated from different repositories into one without any changes in the rest of the (E)CM.

My advise:
Read the Forrester link and the Day Software white papers, and if you are still there, go to the JSR 170 Home Page and download the final specification.
