In that case we should be replacing it with something which has been designed to fit requirements. > Personally, I could argue for standardizing on a single implementation based > on JCR, and providing import and/or export support for various formats, such > as our current file-based and db-based format, maildir and mbox. I'd rather we abstracted, I think the interchangeable implementations are one of James' strengths. Paradoxically if we hadn't had that then it wouldn't have been possible for Jukka to build the JCR POC so easily, and we'd probably still be thinking that it would be neat to try. > Likewise, I'd be just as happy to move to and standardize on a user > repository based on LDAP, using ApacheDS by default and able to plug into > other LDAP systems.

I think standardising on LDAP is probably a sensible pragmatic approach as every man and his dog seems happy to use LDAP these days. d. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
