not much documentation, but there is an example

https://svn.wyona.com/repos/public/yanel/contributions/realms/konakart-yanel-realm

This is a Yanel realm integrating KonaKart (http://www.konakart.com/) 
using SOAP (config/konakart_axis_client.properties) and JDBC 
(config/konakart-repository.xml)

See for example:

res-types/model/src/java/org/wyona/konakart/model/impl/KonakartJDBCRepository.java
res-types/model/src/java/org/wyona/konakart/model/impl/KonakartOrderJDBCNode.java
res-types/model/src/java/org/wyona/konakart/model/impl/KonakartOrderOverviewJDBCNode.java
res-types/model/src/java/org/wyona/konakart/model/impl/KonakartProductJDBCNode.java
res-types/model/src/java/org/wyona/konakart/model/impl/KonakartProductOverviewJDBCNode.java

How would like to have Jetspeed2 access Yanel? Do you want to use
http://developers.sun.com/portalserver/reference/techart/jsr168/

?
