hi ruchi, I forgot to mention that I had to add a couple of libraries to the tomcat version included in the jetspeed distribution in order to run jackrabbit with java5.
try the following: 1. remove every file under /tmp/jackrabbit. once jackrabbit fails to create a repository in a directory it will keep until you delete its contents. 2. download xalan and serializer.jar and put them under /jetspeed_installation/common/endorsed. 3. start jetspeed and have fun :) I've just tested it in a windows box and it works. br, edgar
