Welcome to Priha

Priha is an implementation of the JSR-170 Java Content Repository API. It is mostly meant for people who wish to use JSR-170 in their application with as few external dependencies as possible.

Priha is not officially TCK compliant, though as of version 0.6.4 it does pass the JSR-170 test suite. It was originally designed to complement JSPWiki 3.0 as an integrated provider layer, which does show in some of the design choices. However, it is likely to be useful as a generic, simplified JSR-170 implementation as well. Please see the Features page for more information.

The Priha design goals are follows:

• Provide a "good enough" implementation for embedders
• Optimize for fast fetching of medium-sized text objects (i.e. wikipages)
• Good storage of large binaries (i.e. attachments)
• Provide integrated versioning
• Provide an SPI so that different types of providers can be used without hiding the JSR structure to something which cannot be understood by a mortal man.
• Provide an SPI so powerful that JSPWiki can be easily migrated and keep the existing clarity of its Providers.
• Scalability up to medium size systems (200 wikis, each with 2000 pages, total of 400,000 nodes).
• Ships with as few external libraries as possible
