That sounds nice. But, I don't even know what Maven is. Where can I read about this method of installing it? I'm not asking you to tell me what Maven is; I can read up on that myself. But the only download I see is that one with the GUI installer that sets up the whole bundle. How do I go from that to this componentized build? And what are the different components, and what do they do, and where do I find them to pull out (or not)? > Because our first uses cases for using remote interfaces needed > performances we first focused on EJB3 remoting. > => Almost all services are accessibles via EJb remoting I take it that means I have to use Java to access them? > Nuxeo 5 also offers other remote interfaces : That sounds great. > Well, this is exactly the purpose of the pluggable search service ...

I guess the question is: how to tie a particular vocabulary to a particular field? What happens to fields with existing data when a particular entry in the vocabulary with that data goes away? Thanks again to everyone for your help. This looks like a great community, and I apologize for being so Java-impaired. -- John _______________________________________________ ECM mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/ecm
