OK, I understand now. > Problem with the JCR API is that, > org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.value.BinaryValue cannot be cast to > org.apache.jackrabbit.api.JackrabbitValue Yes, as far as I know the RMI layer doesn't currently support JackrabbitValue. I guess either you need to patch the RMI layer yourself (patches are always welcome), wait for somebody else to do it, or use another API. The local (non-remote) API works for sure. Unfortunately, I don't know if DavEx remoting supports JackrabbitValue. About remoting, see also: http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/RemoteAccess Regards, Thomas
