Hi David,
Thanks for the reply. I put it on the tomcat list as well in case I was
being stupid with my tomcat configuration. I have to admit this is a first
attempt to simply try out magnolia. It will be used on two apps for the
present (a third fairly soon) so I wanted to share the repository across
each app by using a global jndi rather than a backend database. There is an
existing message along similar lines but I'm struggling to get it to work.
This is the message:
Hi,
magnolia always tries to get the repository object via JNDI.
But sharing JNDI object at container level can only be achieved by sharing
jndi context implementation between web applications.
magnolia configuration allows you to define context factory and jndi name so
you can use any third party factory implementation.
jackrabbit do not provide JNDI factory as a separate implementation so
either you need to extract JNDI library from jackrabbit jars or use magnolia
EE which comes with the
jndi context factory implementation.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Sameer Charles
