Well, I think that taking a stepwise approach would be good enough for the time being, just to see how much e.g. Jackrabbit would benefit from Neo4j. So, IMHO, the SPI implementation would be a good start without straingin teh resources available for this too much. As more peers are getting interes

2008-08-15 Thread Anders Nawroth
hello! Have anybody looked into using neo4j as a JCR backend? Among many other uses, the Grails framework will be using a JCR-compliant backend in the next version (1.1). There is also a Spring JCR module and some tool support. The data structure of JCR seems to fit neo4j very well: > The data
