I will be happy with whatever form that helps the users quickly 
identify/understand what a sample does.

Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Luciano

Let's not get too caught up in the word structure. Maybe I was trying to be too 
helpful in my previous post by explaining that I had started looking at 
physical folder structure but had backed that out based on the discussions on 
this list. However I think that we do need to "structure" the samples so that 
our users can identify their purpose more easily than is the case with the 1.x 
release. So let me focus the mind and the conversation a little. What I'm doing 
is renaming samples to have the following the form...

implementation-java-calculator
binding-ws-calulator
host-webapp-calculator. 

So that, in my opinion, it's clearer what extension or feature the sample is 
intended to demonstrate. I am not changing their location in svn.
