Hi all,

I have recently had a problem where I was trying to import a large xml document into the jackrabbit repository. The repository expanded hugely during import. I solved this problem by having some elements of the xml stored as an nt:resource node (as jcr:data with an xml mimetype).

Now I've got the problem that I want repository features such as versioning and referencing to apply to some parts of the xml that is stored in the nt:resource. Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to implement this? I'm thinking about taking the xml chunk I want to version out of the nt:resource and then storing it somewhere else. But then, what's the best way of making the link between the nt:resource xml and the new "exploded" xml?

Is there a better way to allow repository features to apply to parts of xml stored in an nt:resource?

Thanks for any help,

Phil.
