Hi,
We've now set up sling/jackrabbit with x instances in a cluster talking
to the same mysql database (which will also be clustered later on). This
seem to work ok in general.
However our application requires some processing of events when nodes in
the repository changes - this processing will in turn perform other
changes in the repository. This should just be done by one node (the
"local" node that triggered the event).
Sadly, the jcr Event interface does not have any method to determine if
an event is local or external - but it seems the Jackrabbit
implementation (org.apache.jackrabbit.core.observation.EventImpl) does.
Checking the instance of Event captured by our EventListener confirms
that it is of this implementation. But performing a cast to EventImpl
fails with a ClassCastException "no class def found". This is probably
due to the ClassLoader of our bundle not having access to the
org.apache.jackrabbit.core.observation package and no other bundles
exporting this package.
Is my understanding of the problem correct? And if so, is there any
other way than to include the jackrabbit jar file to our bundle to get
the system to cast Event to EventImpl?
