Hi, You may ask these questions at Brix's mailing list. See answers inline.

I can also see it is not much developed recently. Branch 'wicket6' is more active these days. The project definitely needs more active developers/bug reporters. > - Clustering - OK, done that with wicket, all works OK.

Jackrabiit can store in RDBMS as well, not only in the file system. But better ask in Jackrabbit's mailing list about this. > - General jackrabbit performance - say we will ave ~1k pages for the > start, and a lot of binary resources (a kind of internal library of files). > Up to what numbers would it work well? Are there any caveats? Brix uses JCR APIs so you can use a different implementation if Jackrabbit is not good enough for you. I know of one user that uses JBoss Modeshape instead. > > Well, that's it. > > Guys -- thanks a lot in advance; I'd really want to use this piece of tech. > Just making sure we won't run into trouble with it :) You may also check https://github.com/bricket/bricket. AFAIK this is a fork of Brix. I'm not sure how well maintained it is... Recently its developers were active in testing Brix's wicket6 branch. > > -- > Alexander Cherednichenko > [ the only way out is the way up ] -- Martin Grigorov jWeekend Training, Consulting, Development http://jWeekend.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
