I'm trying to understand the differences between sling and jackrabbit. I understand that Jackrabbit is the underlying content repository that sling uses.
As I read through the jackrabbit wiki, it seems clear that there's a database behind jackrabbit, that holds information about the documents that are being stored in the repository. However, as I read through the sling docs, there's not much that discusses the need for this database, is the because the sling distribution assumes there is a jackrabbit server installed somewhere and that part of the configuration of sling is to connect it to a JSR 170 Repository? Or is sling using some other kind of persistent store to hold document information? Tony
