The JCR module part of Spring Modules is about working with the JCR API in a Spring manner - i.e. having exception translation, template, a sessionFactory. Another big incentive for it was the transaction management build on top of Spring transaction infrastructure. I think a mapping tool for JCR would be a very useful tool and I'd be glad to support it inside Spring Modules (I'm not sure if it makes sense to move it there). However, I think it's really premature to discuss such issue before the tool is finalized. As for my opinions about the JCR mapping - they were/are not the reason why there isn't support for JCR mapping (it actually is inside the sandbox). From what I've seen the project is in very early stages, there are a lot of changes and keeping up with it, is just too much work. Christophe and I talked some time ago about some patches which would be contributed to Spring Modules to reflect the latest changes - something that I welcome. > > IMO the first step would be to create a new "independent" life for JCR > mapping tool.
