The Fedora Futures prototype using ModeShape is available here.
Pro/Con Overview
...
| Pro: | Con: |
|---|---|
| Supports JCR semantics (including optional functionality) | Commits us to JCR semantics or a superset |
| Offered by JBoss as a product with several years of history | Not clear how far community extends beyond JBoss |
| Due to JCR semantics, could persist content as well as relationships | |
| Has many beyond-JCR functionalities that could be useful to FF | Additional functionalities are unique to ModeShape |
| Open source (code hosted on GitHub) | Not clear what kind of licensing complexities exist given (LGPL v2.1) licensing |
| Fully streaming persistence | But not asynchronous access to that persistence |
| Offers prebuilt HTTP/REST API | Which doesn't take account in any way of the Fedora object model |
| Relies largely on JBoss Infinispan for persistence, which is well-supported technology | But would limit FF to Infinispan-supported persistence options, or implementing ModeShape-specific interfaces |
| Installation Package of ModeShape has a size of 179MB | |
| JNDI enabled | Sparse documentation about Apache Tomcat deployment |
