Thanks Julian; I've started reading JSR-283 and this Shareable Node is
exactly what I need. I looked at the Jackrabbit roadmap, and support
for JCR 2.0 is in the "medium term". Does anyone know what this means
(generally)? Are we talking months or years?
Months, I guess.
Parts of the JSR-283 are already implemented in the trunk; in the
meantime, you can cast the JSR 170 Node to a JSR 283 Node, which
contains some of the new functionality -- that's what we used when we
implemented BIND support in the Jackrabbit WebDAV servlet.
I'm in a bit of a tough spot because if I go forward with my
multivalue Category UUID plan, I think that it will be hard to convert
the CR to use Sharable Nodes in the future once there are thousands of
nodes in there. On the flip side, using the DB option isn't really any
better, and it's another entire system.
Can't help you with the release timing question. Maybe Jukka can give an
estimate when a stable JSR-283 compliant release (2.0?) will be finished.
BR, Julian
