If you use the standard Jackrabbit web app with built-in WebDAV
servers, RMI exposure and some JSP-based UI, it won't work, since it
only handles one repository. For example, the webdav paths include the
workspace + the repo path, but nothing to distinguish multiple
repositories.

For a custom web app you can easily use as many repositories as
possible, as long as the app knows how to handle them. The underlying
repository implementation is web application neutral.
