Support for JackRabbit cluster

Hi,

I am new to JackRabbit and looking forward to use JackRabbit
in our
application.
We have a Work Flow management system which runs in
clustered environment.
We cannot use JackRabbit in a client-server model because
this creates a
single point of failiure. 
So we are trying to use JackRabbit as embedded in the JVM.
When the Repository is initialized it creates .lock file in
the repository
home directory.
This file is used to prevent 2 clients using the same
repository home
directory simultaneously.
I was just wondering if we could use database persistence
and use 2 clients
pointing to the same database.

So I tried commenting out the lock file creation part in
RepositoryImpl
class.
This way I was able to connect to the same repository from 2
clients.
But now I find that the updates made from one client are not
visible to the
other.

As JackRabbit architecture says the changes made from 1
session would be
published to other active sessions. 
Is it possible that we can get the changes in sessions
created on other
client programs?
Has someone tried out this kind of approach?

I serached the forums for related articles and found one
thread discussing
the support for clustered environment. Is JackRabbit
thinking of supporting
cluster in near future?

Thanks in advance for any coments.

Regards,
