Day Creates Industry Collaboration with the Apache Software Foundation on Content Repository API; JSR 170 Software Accepted as a new Apache Incubator Project: Jackrabbit.BASEL, Switzerland -- Day (SWX SWX Swiss Exchange (trademark of SWX Swiss Exchange) SWX SolidWorks (3D solid modeling CAD software) SWX Splitter / Wave Division Multiplexer :DAYN), a leading provider of global content management software, today announced that it has made available an implementation of the Content Repository API for Java Content Repository API for Java (JCR) is a specification for a Java platform API for accessing content repositories in a uniform manner. The content repositories are used in content management systems to keep the content data and also the meta-data used in CMS such as Technology (JCR) to the Apache Software Foundation (open source, body) Apache Software Foundation - (ASF) An umbrella consortium that manages the development of the Apache web server, dozens of XML- and Java-based projects (under the name Jakarta), the Ant build tool, the Geronimo J2EE server, the SpamAssassin anti-SPAM tool, and in order to further promote industry adoption and collaboration of the JSR 170 standard. Apache has formed a new Incubator project, code-named "Jackrabbit jackrabbit, popular name for several hares of W North America, characterized by very long legs and ears. Jackrabbits are powerful jumpers and fast runners. In normal progress leaps are alternated with running steps; when pursued the hare runs fast and close to the ", to accept the donation and guide future development of the software. Day's CTO, David Nuescheler, has served as specification lead for the JSR 170 initiative since its inception. He, along with several members of Day's software development team, will participate in the Jackrabbit project and use the open source implementation as the basis for Day's official JCR reference implementation. In addition, Roy T. Fielding, Day's chief scientist and former chairman of the Apache Software Foundation, will join the project as a mentor and representative of the Apache Incubator project management committee. "Apache has traditionally played an important role in the adoption of new standards for Java and the Web," said Roy T. Fielding, co-founder of the first Apache Project and author of the Internet standards for Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI Uri, in the Bible Uri (y  `rī), in the Bible.1 Father of Bezaleel (1.) 2 Father of Geber (2.) 3 Porter. ) and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol See HTTP. (protocol) Hypertext Transfer Protocol - (HTTP) The client-server TCP/IP protocol used on the World-Wide Web for the exchange of HTML documents. It conventionally uses port 80. Latest version: HTTP 1.1, defined in RFC 2068, as of May 1997. (HTTP HTTP in full HyperText Transfer Protocol Standard application-level protocol used for exchanging files on the World Wide Web. HTTP runs on top of the TCP/IP protocol. ). "Public collaboration through the Apache HTTP Server The Apache HTTP Server, commonly referred to simply as Apache, is a web server notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web. Apache was the first viable alternative to the Netscape Communications Corporation web server (currently known as Sun Project made it possible to both encourage industry adoption of the HTTP/1.1 standard and identify problems in its specification prior to final publication. I expect JCR to become the central interface between Java application development and future content management infrastructure, just as HTTP/1.1 has become the interface through which everyone uses the World Wide Web." "Day's collaboration with the Apache Software Foundation is substantially accelerating our plan to make this innovative technology available to the development community," said Michael Moppert, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Day. "The Jackrabbit project is yet another endorsement of our vision for the future of content management. Apache developers are early adopters, and we will work with the community to create an exciting new market centered around JSR 170, building an excellent basis for Day to expand our own product palette, accelerate our growth and demonstrate Day's leadership in this new, emerging space." JSR 170 recently passed the public review stage of the Java Community Process Sun's system for allowing third parties to submit requests for new features to Java. JCP is a formal process that must be adhered to, and fees are involved. In 1999, Sun submitted Java to the ECMA standards body, but withdrew its J2SE specification later in the year. -- the process through which all Java language and platform standards are established -- and is currently incorporating public comments. Day, as JSR 170 Specification Lead, is responsible for developing an official Reference Implementation and Testing Compatibility Kit for the Content Repository API, and has chosen to do so through the Apache open source community in order to promote open collaboration among the various industry participants and further adoption of the standard by the world-wide community of server-side Java application developers. The JSR 170 expert group includes members from 22 independent companies, representing a broad spectrum of Java infrastructure and application software development, including industry heavyweights such as Apache, BEA, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, SAP, Sun and Oracle.
