The JavaServer.20 was originally written as part of the DSpace SWORDv2 implementation, but it was thought at the time it would be worth abstracting out the SWORD part from DSpace part, in the hope that this might be reusable. As far as I know, you're the first person to try using outside of DSpace (hence the lack of any other implementation or past experience). Richard Jones wrote this and may be able to give you a few pointers, however he is offline this week at a conference (OAI8 in Geneva). If you're attending Open Repositories next month, I'm sure he'd be happy to say hello and talk more about the code. > p.s.

I just checked - there are 175 subscribers to this list. As far as I know, SWORD is the main contender in town when it comes to a standardized deposit interface to this type of repository. I've also wondered about the quietness of this list. I think there may be a few reasons: one, is that a lot of repository users are still grappling with their repositories, without yet getting as far as accepting remote deposits. Second, SWORD doesn't yet really have an active community sharing deposit tools. Partly this is because many uses of SWORD will be very specific point-to-point integrations, which might not be of interest to too many others. It would be good to hear a wider discussion about this, and how we share more about our individual uses of SWORD.
