Dominique Pfister commented on JCR-1440:
----------------------------------------

Clustering in jackrabbit requires persistence managers that connect to a shared datasource. I noticed that the persistence managers in your repository.xml use the embedded Derby JDBC driver, which will not work in a clustered setup. Did you try switching to Derby in standalone mode?

> NPE Thrown when two Cluster Nodes are hitting the same underlying database.

> I've created a test that creates two repositories with clustering enabled that are backed by the same database.  Using the following workflow causes a NullPointerException to be thrown.
> The workflow I'm using is:
> The root node is versioned.
> ClusterNode1 creates a versioned child node named "foo".
> The test waits to make sure the syncDelay has passed so ClusterNode2 will notice the newly created node.
> ClusterNode2 retrieves the "foo" child node and removes it.
> The test waits for the change ClusterNode1 to sync with that change.
> ClusterNode1 tries to create another new node however a NullPointerException is thrown when the it tries to checkout the rootNode.
> java.lang.NullPointerException: null values not allowed
