JackRabbit client / server

Hi,

I use JackRabbit in my application as an embedded library.
Is there a way to split my application into a client / server application
using a "server component" in JackRabbit ?
I do not want to code this layer myself, I just wonder if there is a kind of
client / serveur functionnality implemented in JR.

Thanks,
Antoine Larcher

You might want to take a look at this nice Sling introduction:
http://www.unc.edu/home/adamc/sling-overview.html

It describes the current status of the project very accurately:

<citation>

How Stable is this?

>From a technical perspective, Sling's fairly stable and has at least
one full-fledged "release" under its belt. The main issue is that most
of the developers work for the same company (Day Software). The Apache
Software Foundation requires projects to establish that they have a
sustainable, distributed community of committers, and that's why it's
still in incubation. Since the project's getting more attention
though, I don't expect it to be too long before it "graduates."

Thanks Bertrand,

Sling projet seems to be a little bit young, it maybe a risk to choose this
technology.
However I am going to take a deeper look at it and check it regularly to see
its evolution.
I'm gonna look at your example below.

Thank you very much.

The Sling project [1] provides a RESTful interface to execute most JCR
operations (and we're probably willing to add those that are missing).
I haven't followed your discussions so I'm not sure if it fits for
your use cases but you might want to have a look - and/or ask on the
Sling dev list if you think that might help.

There are not much docs on that ATM, the simplest example might be the
mini-blog code of my ApacheCon presentation, at [2] - running this
will give you an idea of how that interface works.

Thanks alex,
I need to run it on 2 separated JVM, so I'm going to use the RMI solution.
I thought there was some kind of web services or servlets, I noticed the
projet jackrabbit-servlets but it seems to be only servlet context binding
of Repository objects.

Thanks again.

If they run in the same JVM, you can use JNDI to easily share the
repository object. Otherwise you can use RMI. See the jackrabbit
webpage on deployment models, model 2 and model 3 respectively.
