Thanks for the hint. I am not deeply familiar with JSR-170, but I believe something "similar" should be extended to the non-Java world.
Well, there is nothing more java-oriented than the JCP.
I think it would be pretty easy to *port* the API to other languages once it's finalized.Maybe OSCOM could help on this.
Officially I resigned, but I am in close contact with the spec lead and I keep receiving their emails. I'm actually considering getting back into it and ask for a xindice representative to join me.Stefano, are you still within JSR-170 expert group?
There is a lot of overlap and there is partial communication between this JSR and the other webdav-related one (147) but WebDAV is a protocol while this JSR is more an API about a virtual file system with versioning capabilities.How does it compare to WebDAV, especially the deltaV?
In fact, they want to use Apache Slide as the reference implementation of JSR 170 and implementing WebDAV on top of any JSR 170-compliant repository will be piece of cake. The repository will be totally content-agnostic, but there will be special facilities for XML (here I would like XIndice to be used as a Slide store, but SoftwareAG people (also part of that JSR and driving force behind slide today) might not be very happy about that!)
Anyway, there is another 6 months to see anything as a public draft so we still have all the time to say something about it. The expert group is a very balanced and reasonable group of people, not much politics.... well, less than I would expect in the CMS world, let's say that! :)
