Hi Nicolas,

What is the session isolation level [ref. http://www.unix.org.ua/orelly/java-ent/ebeans/ch08_03.htm] by default ?

the default is read commited.

Is it configurable ?

no, but you may use locks to further control isolation level.

a session in jackrabbit will see changes as soon as they are committed. you may however use locks to achieve a higher isolation level. successfully setting a lock on a node will give you repeatable read for that subtree. if you do that on the root node you get serializable isolation level.

At least, Jackrabbit seems to prevent dirty reads (determined from tests). Is there any documentation regarding isolation level ? I think it is a very important topic...

Unfortunately there is currently no documentation on isolation levels, but this thread may be a good starting point to collect all relevant information and then put it into a nice xdoc or wiki page.

Example :
A : open session
A : read nodes "test" & "test2"
B : open session
A : delete nodes "test" & "test2"
B : save session //WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ??
B : logout
A : read nodes "test" & "test2" //WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN ??
A : logout

I cannot quite follow you here. thread B seems to save a session without having made changes to it? that means 'B : save session' is basically no op. But I guess that's not what you want to know...

 marcel
