I wouldn't recommend using JCR anymore for JSPWiki. It is, as you point out, overly complicated and many of its features (like versioning) are ill suited for JSPWiki purposes. Also I'm no longer developing Priha, so someone would need to pick that up too. An redesigned version of the current enhanced with metadata and subpage/subwiki support should be sufficient, something like switching a WikiName class to everywhere that Strings are being used to denote a page, then having it support a simple [subwiki:page1/page2] syntax... /Janne
