Hi Sam, that is possible. At the moment the Jackrabbit Repository runs embedded in the ofbiz instance. But it is not much work to run the JCR Repository on an separate server instance and let this server stream your content.
Descripted here http://jackrabbit.apache.org/standalone-server.html The only thing that have to be changed is the Repository Connection in something like: Repository repository = new URLRemoteRepository("http://localhost:8080/rmi";); (This could also be made configurable). Just a side node. For step one i didn't migrated all the content applications. There is only the API to work with the content repository, everything else will follow ... 2011/11/11 Sam Hamilton <s...@sh81.com> > > Hi Sascha - thanks for the reply! > > So if I understand right images will not be stored on the app servers but on > another server that is running the jackrabbit storage services?
