This is an API to access and modify the data in a MOM-CA Database.

1. Create a connection.properties file on classpath with the following properties:

    connectionType=exist
    connectionUrl=xmldb:exist://[momca-url]/xmlrpc
    user=admin
    password=[momca-password]

2. Get a connection factory and momca connection:

MomcaConnectionFactory factory = new MomcaConnectionFactory();
MomcaConnection momca = factory.getMomcaConnection();

3. Use the various manager classes, e.g. CharterManager, provided by MomcaConnection to access and modify data:

CharterManager cm = momca.getCharterManager();

4. Do something with it. For instance, the following snippet gets a list of the ids of the charters of a specific fond:

List<IdCharter> charterIds = cm.list(new IdFond("AT-StiASei", "SeitenstettenOSB"))

To run the unit tests, a new MOM-CA instance must be created and the backup data in /src/test/resources/test_database_backup.zip needs to be restored.
