Which thread are you referring to? > The version of the document I can find in the discussion groups appears > to be for the 1.0-SNAPSHOT version.

There are no major changes in 0.9 or in the upcoming 1.0 release. The reason 0.9 may seem different is that it does not contain all the contributed components. For example the WebDAV extensions that you seem to be referring with the server and client jars is not included in the 0.9 release. > There is some configuration information on the Jackrabbit home site but > it doesn't give examples of how to configure the repository.xml file for > use with Tomcat. You are right in that the Jackrabbit documentation is somewhat lacking. We are slowly working at improving things, and of course all help is eagerly accepted. See the deployment howtos under http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/doc/deploy.html for a brief introduction on setting up Jackrabbit in various Tomcat deployments. Mark Slater recently wrote some great Jackrabbit/Tomcat instructions which can be found at http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-319. Getting those instructions on the Jackrabbit web site is on my todo list. > Additionally there seems to be no information on how to configure the > PersistenceManager to work with a relational database anywhere on the > site. Some documented examples would be really helpful. See the Persistence manager section in the Configuring Jackrabbit page: http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/doc/config.html#Persistence_managers This is probably the best configuration documentation we have at the moment. Feel free to use the mailing list, wiki, or the issue tracker to ask for more documentation and examples. > I'm trying to install the latest .9 release from the downloads area and > can't seem to get it to work with Tomcat 5.5.

There's a version of Mark's instructions also at http://whisper.cse.ucsc.edu/jackrabbit_deployment_test/. I hope this helps you get started. :-) BR, Jukka Zitting -- Yukatan - http://yukatan.fi/ - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Software craftsmanship, JCR consulting, and Java development
