Okay - I've just read the wiki about ORM and it's clearly not as
straightforward as I was hoping. I've only just started looking at the
Jackrabbit project, so I'm not up to speed with all the issues, but
coming from an rdbms background, I would have thought most users would
want to be able to plug Jackrabbit into an existing schema, at least for
type 1 repositories. Also for type 2 repositories, as someone else
mentioned in another msg, proprietary flat files might scare a lot of
clients because they can't see where their data is from a traditional
perspective.
I rather like the idea of having the database set up in a similar way to
how the JSR-170 pec suggests (with one table per property type) for type
2 repositories. It's more "normal" for systems people and is also
available to systems outside JSR-170 (non-Java - MS ADO for example).
Just my 2 pennies worth!

Hi,
I've managed to download and compile the source for both teh main
Jackrabbit project and (with a few tweaks) the ORM-persistence contrib
project, but I'm not sure how to get my application working with the orm
stuff. The readme.txt file suggests changing a couple of files depending
on which db you want to use, but not how to change Jackrabbit from using
the filesystem to using orm.
Has anyone got any pointers?
Otherwise I'm really excited about Jackrabbit and JSR-170.
Congratulations to all involved.
TIA
