Julien and Marcel,

Thanks for the clarification. Now I understand it's the internal cache that prevents multiple Repos from accessing the storage at the same time. This design makes sense as it has better performance than the one without the cache. But if the internal cache is disabled as Julien did, in theory should multiple Repos be able to simultaneously access the storage?

thanks,
Richard

If you disable the cache then you reload everything all the time and should achieve the desired effect, but performances will suffer a lot.

By the way I disabled the cache in jackrabbit (I simple modified the code to have the SharedItemCache have the put() do a noop).

Some tests were not passing with that change. I think it is not normal to have the tests failing when the cache is disabled (even if it
is uses a hack to make it not effective)

because jackrabbit uses an internal cache that you cannot disable.



and even if you would be able to disable the cache, one instance had to tell the other one that something has changed on disc. otherwise you would have to scan the filesystem all the time for possible changes.

clustering is not that easy ;)
