If you are using TransientRepository then multiple parallel connections are not possible. I am using a deployment model where the repository is wrapped as an RMI Server and this RMI Server is exposed through the JNDI. The client sessions looks up this instance through the JNDI.

It appears that there can be only one server that accesses the repository which can have multiple clients. We are looking at Jackrabbit as a possible solution for a high volume binary content repository where we would need to have multiple servers for fail over purposes all sitting behind a load balancer accessing the same repository. When more than one server attempts to access the repository an error is generated stating that the repository is locked. Have I missed something? Is there a way around the locking situation? Thanks in advance for any info. Bill
