[CRX] Accessing CRX Remotely using Jcr Remoting Based On Webdav (DavEx)

Goal: To access CRX remotely in a client java program, JCR Remoting (DavEx). This post is on using JCR Remoting (aka WebDav remoting, DavEx).

Solution:

<dependency>

    <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId>

    <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr2dav</artifactId>

    <version>2.13.4</version>

    <scope>test</scope>

</dependency>

@Testpublic void testJson() throws RepositoryException, JSONException {
    String REPO = "http://localhost:4502/crx/server";    String WORKSPACE = "crx.default";
    Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository(REPO);
    Session session = repository.login(new SimpleCredentials("admin", 

"admin".toCharArray()), WORKSPACE);
    // Getting a particular node    Node root = session.getRootNode();

    Node subContent = root.getNode("apps/geometrixx-gov/components/logo");

    // Iterating over the nodes and printing their names

    StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();

    JsonItemWriter jsonWriter = new JsonItemWriter(null);

    jsonWriter.dump(subContent, stringWriter, -1, true);

    String json = stringWriter.toString();

    System.out.println(json);}
