Hi, I was looking for open source Document Management System and came across "JackRabbit". I read through several postings and the available documentation on the site.
This is the requirement: a) Batch programs will be creating documents(90%pdf documents) in the repository ( DB or file system - yet to be finalized) b) Users can search and view the documents through the web browser ( More than 1 WebSphere application server running on multiple machines would need to get the access of the jackrabbit repository) ---- Only for read only purpose -- based on the user roles and all. There might be at least 100 to 150 users concurrently accessing the system for searching and viewing the documents.
From the above requirements, it looks like i need to have the "Model 3
(Server) Deployment Model" to be in place and that means i need to have jackrabbit running as JCR-RMI server so that multiple application server can access the same repository. One of the things which bug me is a piece of information on the jackrabbit website and that is: i) "*Warning:* The current JCR-RMI library is designed for simplicity, not performance. You will probably experience major performance issues if you try running any non-trivial applications on top of JCR-RMI" So in the scenario described, do you suggest Jackrabbit will work great. Are there any issues which needs to be thought of in the server deployment model? Your comments/suggestion will be highly appreciated. Thanks Vijay
