Migrate Jackrabbit 1.4 to 2.x

[hsp <pi...@ibest.com.br>]

Hi;
I would to know how to do the update in my project repository that is using
jackrabbit 1.4.x to the newest 2.x.
My repository is using datastore. I was thinking to migrate to 1.6 and after
migrate do 2.0, is it necessary?
And what about my nodetypes, will they remain as they are when in the
jsr283?
My doubt is because there is some legacy (a lot of...), and it is critical
to retain the same uuids in workspaces.
Hope can be helped, thanks!

Thanks Jukka by your quick help.

It means that all version history also be the same, right?

By the way, the deployment I use is just one web application accessing many
repositories in other servers by web services (axis 1.4).
I really not know/mind if there is other (better) way to connect the
application with the repositories remotely.

You should be able to use the existing 1.4.x repository as-is also
with Jackrabbit 2.x. Existing content, node types, uuids, etc. should
all remain the same over the upgrade. Of course it's still a good idea
to backup your repository before the upgrade and do a full round of
testing after that to verify that everything's OK.

If you do encounter any problems, upgrading first to 1.6 and then to
2.x might help solve them or at least better pinpoint the issue.

Note that, depending on your deployment, you may also want to migrate
to a more recent repository configuration in order to take better
advantage of the performance and other improvements that we've added
over time. See http://jackrabbit.apache.org/standalone-server.html#StandaloneServer-Backupandmigration
for instructions on how to use the migration feature of the Jackrabbit
standalone jar.
