Data storage is handled by persistence managers (for the nodes and properties) and if enabled by a file-based DataStore for large binaries. By default (IIRC) the standalone webapp's persistence manager is configured to use the Derby embedded database for storage. Other persistence managers are file-based, but anyway the storage mechanism isn't visible, nor relevant, from the JCR API's point of view. See "persistence managers" in http://jackrabbit.apache.org/frequently-asked-questions.html, and (optionally) http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DataStore > ...what's the difference to > using a 100% database solution?... In short, the JCR API provides high-level functionality for content management that relational databases don't. The http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JcrLinks page provides links to a series of articles that might be useful. -Bertrand
