Interface RepositoryManager

public interface RepositoryManager

The repository manager provides life-cycle management features for repositories. Not all implementations are required to implement all features, for example some implementations may not support starting a repository after is has been stopped.

Method Summary

DataStoreGarbageCollector	createDataStoreGarbageCollector() Create a data store garbage collector for this repository.
void	stop() Shuts down the repository.

Method Detail

stop

void stop()

Shuts down the repository. A Jackrabbit repository instance contains a acquired resources and cached data that needs to be released and persisted when the repository is no longer used. This method handles all these shutdown tasks and should therefore be called by the client application once the repository instance is no longer used.

Possible errors are logged rather than thrown as exceptions as there is little that a client application could do in such a case.
