Hi Janne,
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...
overly complicated is true unfortunately. However, that's mostly the server
part's problem, isn't it? Did you face any bigger problems on the client side?
If there was a fast and lean server already existing, ready to be packaged with
JSPWiki, it would be quite comfortable to use JCR. That's why I'm really
curious about Jackrabbit OAK.
On the other hand, looking at the amount of resources available, it may be the
better decision to enhance the 2.x API regarding your points above.
Regards
Florian
