I have tried to set up Jackrabbit Resource Adapter and seem to have reached a dead-end. I have a post here <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23186713/jackrabbit-jca-credentials-conf usion> describing (some of) my attempts. I wonder if the resource adapter works at all, or ever did. It seems as if the documentation has been broken, albeit in a strange way, with respect to this, on purpose. Why I do not know, but I do believe that ir would be difficult to garf up their documentation, in this specific area, by accident. There is evidence of a move to use JAAS for the resource adapter, though as nearly everyone who comments on Jackrabbit says, documentation is hard to come by.
I had hoped to use the JCR for a tag based document store, running in the same JVM as my application server. At this point however, I am about to abandon it. I don't know if it is just the JCA, or the entire project, that ultimately amounts to so little. The project seems to be working on new things. If I could, I would ask them, "Why?". No one, at least certainly not I, will be interested in using their stuff when the condition of the projects in their wake is so deplorable. I am to that point that I don't really care what reasons there are, and am about to move on to a different design. I wish that I had an email address for someone who was somebody at Apache. I would ask them why they have such broken cr*p for a project. And why they continue to publish it with every revision of the documentation since version 2.0 full of broken links and missing inserts. Day's concept is/was brilliant. I wish that I could say the same for Jackrabbit.
