Hm... only to have a "next" and "previous" link on a page I would not
go into the hassle of changing the JCR implementation. Check out the
page below. It's a static export of a magnolia site where we easily
added "next" (german: "weiter") and "previous" (german: "zurück")
links underneath the staff pictures. O.k., it did include some coding,
we had to get the list of siblings manually (by getting the parent
then node and all its visible children) but it's for sure no rocket
science.

Having just spent the day bashing my head against a wall trying to
work out how to implement "next page" and "previous page" links on
a site I'm wondering if anyone has tried using alternative JSR
implementations to Jackrabbit.
From what I can tell after several hours of irritation Jackrabbit
doesn't seem to implement any kind of positional axes in its XPath
implementation (ie. I can't use following-sibling or even the
"parent" axis!). I've tried several possible workarounds and the
only way I can think of to implement this is to literally iterate
through ever y child of the parent of the current page in order to
find the next and previous pages - which seems insanely inefficient.
Hopefully I'm just misunderstanding something and if anyone can help
me out with advice I'd be very grateful -
Otherwise I've been considering trying to swap out the JCR
implementation for something else - has anyone tried the Exo
platform JCR for instance (I could only find references from several
years ago in the mailing list archives) ?
