Jackrabbit persistence on DB2 ZOS v 8 is different than it is for most databases. We had to make certain changes to the jackrabbit core in order to get it working.
Changes involved 3 java and 2 ddl and 1 repository.xml file in the paths listed: * jackrabbit-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/fs/db DatabaseFileSystem.java DB2FileSystem.java db2-zos.ddl * jackrabbit-core/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/persistence/db DatabasePersistenceManager.java db2-zos.ddl * repository.xml We would like to contribute these changes back to the community since they might help someone in the future. Ideally these changes should be reflected in the upcoming releases but DB2 ZOS has limitation on 8 character tablespace and database names. Thus we had to change the java files and hardcode a couple of values in the repository.xml. The default workspace had to be changed to def. Workspaces created using this code again have to take into account the 8 character limit. These changes might not be compatible with all databases. In that case we could just contribute this code into the contrib dir or put it up on the wiki. Please advice. Vikas.
