Magnolia 3.0.5, Berkley DB (BDB) and Jackrabbit 1.3.3_

1. Plain vanilla Magnolia 3.0.5 war
Launch a plain vanilla Magnolia 3.0.5 war in a Tomcat > let it unpack. Stop Tomcat afterwards.

2. Main configuration
Edit the file WEB-INF/config/default/magnolia.properties:
{{magnolia.repositories.jackrabbit.config=WEB-INF/config/repo-conf-jackrabbit-1.3/jackrabbit-bdb-search.xml}}

3. BDB repo configuration
The package of the persistence manager has changed, so you'll need to change the file WEB-INF/config/repo-conf-jackrabbit-1.3/jackrabbit-bdb-search.xml accordingly. Fix the value for PersistenceManager class (2x!):
{{<PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bdb.BerkeleyDBPersistenceManager" />}}

4. Exchange some JARs

• jackrabbit-core-1.0.1.jar -> jackrabbit-core-1.3.3.jar
• lucene-1.4.3.jar -> lucene-core-2.0.0.jar (IMPORTANT: Version 2.2.0 will not work!)
• jackrabbit-index-filters-1.0.1-patch-574.jar -> jackrabbit-text-extractors-1.3.3.jar

5. Add a few more JARs

• jackrabbit-api-1.3.3.jar
• jackrabbit-jcr-commons-1.3.3.jar
• je-3.2.44.jar (BDB)
• derby-10.1.3.1.jar with derby-10.2.2.0.jar (which is strange to me since we're using BDB instead of derby... but I got ClassNotFoundExceptions when I did not replace the derby JAR!)

6. Compile the BDB persistance manager

• Place the java files you'll find under http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib/bdb-persistence/src/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/persistence/bdb/ (as of 2007-10-18) in a folder
• In the same folder create a subfolder "lib"
• Add the following JARs to the lib folder:
  • commons-logging-1.1.jar
  • jackrabbit-jcr-commons-1.3.3.jar
  • je-3.2.44.jar
  • jackrabbit-core-1.3.3.jar
  • javax.jcr-jcr-1.0.jar
• Compile with: javac -extdirs lib -Xlint:unchecked *.java
  • with JDK 1.5 try: javac -source 1.4 -extdirs lib -Xlint:unchecked *.java
• Copy all .class files to a folder WEB-INF/classes/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/persistence/bdb/
  • or create a .jar file and move it to WEB-INF/lib: jar -cf jackrabbit-bdb-persistence.jar org
    7. Bootstrap Magnolia again
• Delete your "repositories" folder
• Place the bootstrap you need (e.g. from a backup) WEB-INF/bootstrap/common or WEB-INF/bootstrap/author
• If you need to add templates or docroot files, now would be a good moment to do so
• Launch Magnolia and keep an eye on the log
  This worked for me... I hope it does too for you! Good luck!
