those two applications should run either against the same "jackrabbit" instance then everything should be fine. see deployment model 2 & 3 http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/arch/deploy.html you can also just let one of your instances (the one that is mainly writing, if there is one ;) ) use the "embedded deployment" and the other instance connect to i through for example rmi as a client, this should allow you to see all the changes instantaneously. regards, david
