Configuring Jackrabbit in Sling

[Josh Kennedy]

Hello,

I'm new to using spring and jackrabbit and was wondering what the best  
approach is to configure jackrabbit when it is deployed inside sling  
inside a webapp.  Currently the only way I have found to successfully  
configure it was by "extending" the jackrabbit-server module and  
repacking it inside a custom bundles module.  This works but seems a  
bit contrived.  I've attempted to specify which configuration file to  
use in the sling.properties file as well as in the web.xml.  Neither  
seemed to work.

Also, I would like my content bundles to be able to updated local file  
system copies from within the maven build directory as things are  
changed inside the JCR.  From the looks of it, jcr install seems it  
may be able to do this, however I haven't had much luck finding any  
documentation on jcr install, or examples of it being used.  Any  
pointers in the correct direction on using jcr install would be  
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh
