Method Detail

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shuts down the repository. A Jackrabbit repository instance contains a acquired resources and cached data that needs to be released and persisted when the repository is no longer used. This method handles all these shutdown tasks and must therefore be called by the client application once the repository instance is no longer used.

Possible errors are logged rather than thrown as exceptions as there is little that a client application could do in such a case.
