CRX Content Repository

* New for 10.0.2 *

LiveCycle ES3 includes Content Repository Extreme (CRX) 2.3, a content repository based on JCR 2.0 technology. CRX is a data storage system designed for content-centric applications, and combines the characteristics of conventional file systems with relational databases. Some of the important features of CRX repository are as follows:

  • Stores content in a hierarchical folder structure, which allows for referring to nodes and properties using paths.

  • Allows you to restrict access to content based on policies and access control lists (ACLs).

  • Supports unstructured content but can be configured to enforce constraints on data structure using schemas.

  • Supports SQL queries.

  • Supports full-text search on content.

  • Supports versioning of repository content.

For more information about JCR and CRX capabilities, see Exploring CRX.

The DVD installation media and downloaded ESD for LiveCycle ES3 include a self-running Quickstart jar file, com.adobe.granite.microcore.jar, in the \CRX directory. The jar file includes a JCR-compliant repository and Apache Sling, which is a web framework for developing web applications on Java. For information on how to install stand-alone CRX, see Installing CRX.

LiveCycle ES3 provides a Document Services Component (DSC) - Content Repository Connector - that allows you to connect LiveCycle with CRX using HTTP protocol. For more information about how to configure the DSC and the operations available with it, see Content Repository Connector for Adobe LiveCycle ES3.
