I currently have a subsystem in a project I'm working on that provides object persistence, caching, reference resolution and change notification. I also need to support additional capabilities in the future such as transactions and versioning.
I came across Jackrabbit somewhat by accident last week and am new to JCR in general. However, it seems like Jackrabbit does much of what I need already, and I could easily wrap it to provide the rest. In fact, I've got a simple proof-of-concept working already. Much of what I've read so far seem focused on content and document management applications like blogs, wikis and CMS systems. Is what I'm trying to do a misuse of JCRs? Is there some open source framework on top of Jackrabbit already that makes it easier to use them for general persistence of complex Java objects? -- Tom Wheeler http://www.tomwheeler.com/
