Class CoreInstance

java.lang.Object
  org.nuxeo.ecm.core.api.CoreInstance

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class CoreInstance
extends Object
implements Serializable

The CoreInstance is the main access point to a repository server.

A server instance is a singleton object that exists on each client JVM but also on the server JVM. The instance on the server JVM is used to access the server locally while those on client JVMs are used to access the server remotely.

A server instance uses a CoreSessionFactory to create CoreSession instances. CoreSessionFactory objects are implementation-dependent and may be registered using extension points. See CoreSessionFactory for more details.

Thus you can use a different implementation for the local ServerConnector than the one for the remote ServerConnector.

When clients need to perform a connection to a repository, they simply open a new session using the open(String, Map) method.

When the client has done its work it must close its session by calling close(CoreSession).

This ensures correctly freeing all the resources held by the client session.

So a client session looks something like this:

 <code>
 CoreInstance server = CoreInstance.getInstance();
 CoreSession client = server.open("demo", null);
 DocumentModel root = client.getRootDocument();
 // ... do something in that session ...
 // close the client -> this is closing the core session
 server.close(client);
 </code>
