Using Jackrabbit deployed as JCA+Webapp on JBoss 6

[Pontus Amberg]

Hi

I've deployed Jackrabbit as a combination of JCA+Webapp as described 
here http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JackrabbitOnJBoss . I've also 
updated the repository.xml to use an existing domain already configured 
in jboss login-config.xml as described here 
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/JackrabbitOnJbossSecurity. I have 
encountered 2 problems so far with this setup that I haven't found any 
solution to

1. Accessing the repository remotely through the webapp and 
Jcr2davRepositoryFactory don't work since I end up with a LoginException 
where the "CallbackHandler" doesn't support "NameCallback" . This seems 
to be a known problem ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1584 )

2. The repository shutdowns immediately when there's no active sessions. 
This also seems to be a known "problem"/feature.

Is there any solution/work around to these two problems? I know that one 
way to prevent the shutdown is to create an extra dummy session but I 
really dislike that solution.
