Thanks for clearing that up. I'll try not to ask anymore stupid questions until I read more of the documentation. Just to state what I'm hoping for, before I get too far down the wrong path, I'm working on an application for storing and associating a lot of different data (movies linked to pictures, text linked to movies, powerpoint presentations linked to audio, etc..) It seems obvious to me, that using JCR for a content repository is the right way to go; but I'm not sure past that. Am I in the right place?
