Hi, >> the namespace and node type registries and workspace configuration >> files
> Where are those kept and who creates them? Those files are kept in the repository folder, and Jackrabbit creates them. See also the "First Hops" example at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/first-hops.html "In addition to producing the above status line the application copies a default repository configuration file to repository.xml and creates an initial Jackrabbit content repository in the repository subdirectory. You can use the system properties org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.conf and org.apache.jackrabbit.repository.home to set alternative configuration file and repository directory locations." Most of the configuration files can be stored in a database as well (see http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/PersistenceManagerFAQ - File System and specially DbFileSystem), with the exception of: repository.xml, workspace.xml (for each workspace), and the Lucene search indexes (if needed).
