Hi Julio,
I am doing (or rather starting) something very similar. However I am writing my web client in GWT therefore I will be using GWT's excellent RPC mechanism to communicate with AJAX client (this "feels" like RMI) rather than WebDAV. So what I've decided to do is put the Jackrabbit code behind session EJB's on JBoss. Jackrabbit is installed on JBoss as RAR per the documentation on the Wiki and accessed via JNDI. The EJB's are then accessed from the GWT RPC servlets. I hope to have a PoC for this running in the next few days, so if you're interested let me know.
regards
gregor

I have successfully deployed Jackrabbit against a MySQL dB. I can access the
Tomcat server through the sample populate and search jsp files.
I have decided to use WebDav as a mechanism to use it and access it rather
than RMI for simplicity from my web app. I have been looking for sample
code, test code or anything that does from the client side, but I have not
found any.
Two questions.
Is this a common architecture? Is anybody using Jackrabbit as a service?
Second question, any ideas where I can find sample code that uses WebDav
accessing the tomcat/jackrabbit server?
Alternatively, sample code using RMI would be OK, but rather not use that
method.
thanks
