06 Feb 2007 Document storage is hot, hot, hot! There has been an explosion of
methodologies and tool sets -- both open source and proprietary -- to fulfill the
demand for quickly locating and searching documents. Enabling technologies like
Alfresco, Sharepoint, or my favorite, TWiki, are powerful, but they have a fairly
high learning curve -- or worse, store the documents in a proprietary format. There
must be an easier way. Let's take Derby and mash it with a new feature in OpenOffice
2.0, the Open Document Format (ODF). Using these tools, you can create a repository
that lets you store, search, and extract ODF documents in a standards-based manner.
Also learn to use the power of the improved XML features of IBM® DB2®,
Version 9 to make this solution easier to implement.
Objectives
Discover how to manipulate ODF documents using Java™ frameworks
shipped with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) Development Kit (JDK),
such as java.util.zip and Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB), along with
techniques for handling Binary Large Object (BLOB) data on disk and in the Derby
database.
Prerequisites
You should be reasonably comfortable with standard Java tools and have a
smattering of SQL experience. The ability to install and configure a Java Virtual
Machine (JVM), Apache Ant or Eclipse, and Derby is required.
System requirements
To run the examples in this tutorial, you need the following:
- JVM
- Approximately 100MB-200MB of free space, depending on your choice of tool set
- At least 64MB of RAM for your virtual machine (VM)
