-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi,
with the jackalope project, we implement a php binding for jcr that talks over the spi connection to the jackrabbit backend. talking to the microkernel over REST would be the natural evolution of things - the closer to the current spi the better :-) cheers,david Am 10.06.2011 16:54, schrieb Thomas Mueller: > Hi, > >> Sure.
