I need to work with remote jackrabbit repository. I use following code to connect to the local repository:

Repository repository = new TransientRepository();
Session session = repository.login(new SimpleCredentials("username", "password".toCharArray()));

and this works for the local repository but what do I do incase of the remote jackrabbit?

Have you tried using this?

import javax.jcr.Repository;
import org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils;

Repository repository = JcrUtils.getRepository("http://$SERVER_ADDRESS:$PORT/$CONTEXT");

That should work if the remote repository is exposing RMI services. Please note that RMI access is in general considered to be quite slow.
