Thanks helix84! We were contemplating on deploying our web applications
over DSpace with all the corpus/indices/databases in the backend and
accessing them all through DSpace. We were hoping that DSpace would provide
us with system administration (managing crawls, indices ...), LDAP login
and other capabilities. But I hear you. Looks like DSpace is not suited for
this usecase. Thanks for the other pointers!
