Hi Al,
jackrabbit (or JCR in general) might be a good fit because you get a lot of
features out of the box:
- hierarchical storage
- (fulltext) query
- observation of changes
- versioning
for a web framework that nicely works with JCR have a look at apache sling [1].

Good Day Gentlemen/women,
I'm getting back into Java after a 5 year layoff (literally, not figuratively) and would
like some input on the best/easiest/quickest way to implement what I would describe
(possibly erroneously) as an "active database". I'd like to be able to do the
following:
- Have my application query a table, say employee and select the employee id,
name, address and salary.
- Once my application updates the employee's salary, I'd like to be able to
notify (broadcast) a message to all the other instances of my application that
the salary has been updated. This might be a servlet based web app or multiple
running instances of a java application.
My question is what's the best/easiest framework to adopt to meet this objective. Do I need Jackrabbit, EJB, Hivemind, Spring, none of the above?
Thanks so much.
Alex Waltrip
