Introduction to the CentraSite API for JAXR
The CentraSite API for JAXR (Java Application Program Interface for eXtensible Markup Language Repositories) is based on the Java API for XML Registries (JAXR) standard. CentraSite supports JAXR capability level 1. In addition, it has some extensions that enable you to exploit specific functions of CentraSite. The reader should be an experienced Java programmer, with knowledge of XML and the concepts of enterprise repositories.
CentraSite extends the JAXR standard with the following:
Ability to create user-defined object types.
CentraSite extends the JAXR object model by user-defined types, which may have triggers and operations attached. Correspondingly, the “CentraSite JAXR-based extensions” interface extends the JAXR query interface and allows you to search user-defined objects.
Ability to use XQuery to access to the stored data.
CentraSite allows a client to access the stored data directly using XQuery via the XQJ-based (XQuery API for Java) interface.
