Having though about it some more I see a typical chicken/egg problem for creating the first collection... am I right about that?
Besides that if your database doesn't support sub collections retrieving the CollectionManagerService from a collection seems a bit illogical.
(something more or less already mentions by Dare, but I looks like you didn't see it as a real problem)
But I do see it as a problem, which was the point I was trying to make with my Oracle example. You and Dare are correct that Services tied exclusively to collections are not intuitive and inadequate. Understand though that until I implemented the API on Oracle I'd done two other impls.
One for Xindice and the reference impl. Both of those have full hierarchies including a natural root so the problem wasn't apparent. Now it is obvious.
