Thanks Marcel. Follow up question is: I consider this to be a bug / oversight. It should be a very simple use case to take the .war deployment and configure it without reaching inside the .war file and changing files. A great number of users will want to deploy Jackrabbit in this fashion. If people agree, I'll file a bug report... (?)
My use case is that I want to use Jackrabbit to host a Maven 2 repository within my company. So, ideally I want to: * Download the Jackrabbit .war file. * Configure Tomcat to use LDAP authentication and point it at my company's LDAP server. * Create my own repository.xml file which points to my AccessManager implementation (which goes to my company's SingleSignOn service for authorization). * Set the repository home directory, where all the working files will be placed and the location of the repository.xml file. Ideally, this would be done in JNDI. If I have to put together my own Jackrabbit .war file, I consider that I have my "developer" hat on when I only really want to have my "Jackrabbit user" hat on.

Thanks. But anyway, the answer is now on the wiki ;) regards marcel - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - This message is intended only for the personal and confidential use of the designated recipient(s) named above.
