Jackrabbit Model 2 Deployment in Tomcat 5.5.17

[Shanmugam Gopal <ha...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying for Model 2  deployment of Jackrabbit repository in Tomcat 
5.5.17
I am getting java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.BindableRepository
exception  when I try to cast the looked up repository to
javax.jcr.Repository.

The object returned is a BindableRepository which is configured in the 
server.xml as per model 2 deployment.

I have all the jars in WEB-INF/LIB folder and common/LIB folder as well.

Even I tried with the following tag in server.xml

<host ...>
    <context crossContext="true" docBase="..." path="..."/>
</host>

It doesn't work at the same time this works fine in Tomcat 5.0.

Is there any problem with Tomcat 5.5.17 or any fix available for this ?

Regards,
Shanmugam G

It's most likely caused by the Repository class not being shared
between the web applications. If each of them loads the class locally
from WEB-INF/lib/jcr-1.0.jar and not from shared/lib/jcr-1.0.jar or
some other shared location, then they won't be able to share a
Repository.
