The Jackrabbit JCA

[Stuart Wilson <wi...@dtsemaui.com>]

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.

Hi Stuart,

I want to bring some help for you ... We are using Jackrabbit as
JCA Adapter over Years and it works without any problems. There are also some Testcases
for the JCA Adapter where you can look inside to see how it works.

I think not so many users are using Jackrabbit as JCA Adapter but there is although some documentation for
the different Application-Servers [http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/FrontPage under Deployment].
Ok some documentation will be outdated ... but it should be a starting point to configure it on newer versions.


What application server are you using and what exactly are the problems ?
