Version 2 of the Java Content Repository in review

September 2005 a new proposal for version 2 of the Java Content Repository was started as JSR-283. Version 1 is known as JSR-170.

And now nearly a year later an Early Draft Review of this second version can be downloaded from jcp.org. While it is not easy to dive into the provided documentation and get a first impression on what the new features are of version 2, I recommend to listen to the Podcast on Open Source Talk, Alfresco’s Podcast Series.

Alfresco is an Open Source implementation of an Enterprise Content Management System based on JSR-170.

The Podcast Foccusses on:
  • What is JSR-170 and what are the goals behind it
  • How does JSR-170 relate to standard features such as Folders, Documents, Containers and Relationships
  • What levels of standards does JSR-170 have
  • What is in level 1
  • What is in level 2
  • What is in the optional level
  • What is JSR-283 and what are the key features of JSR-283
  • What does Alfresco provide
  • What are Alfresco’s plans for JSR-170/JCR support
  • JSR-170 Developer Kit and samples
  • Scalable JSR-170 support
  • JSR-170 Roadmap
  • Alfresco forge for JSR-170 Contributions
