workspaces

[Pierre Smits <pi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am new to Jackrabbit, and while I understand the concept of repositories
I am a bit confused wrt workspaces.

Why would I want multiple workspaces in a repository? Is it a persistence
issue, an indexing issue? Or what?

Please help me understand.

Regards,

Pierre

The "Do not use workspaces for" list seems to reiterate his earlier 
point that workspaces should not be used for access control.

But what about for two different projects with no corresponding nodes 
and no references between them? I do not want them in the same workspace 
for simplicity as far as queries go. Should I add the overhead and 
complexity of a separate repository?
