Hi Anne, that is a great idea. The Association between products and content in the JCR repository is one of the next steps which i plan to implement so every help and ideas are welcome.
For all Jackrabbit related Tickets i created an Umbrella task, which could be found under: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4659 This is the best starting point for any further discussion. I haven't thought about an solution in detail yet. But i was wondering if an entity that represent the connection between product and content is really necessary. What if we assign a unique node path to each product content? I.e. /categoryOne/SubCategory/product-1701/long-description/en If we define a node name pattern for these kind of content a database entry is superfluous, isn't it?
