Re: Slide and JSR170

[Roy Russo]

It was my understanding that JSR170 is still immature. It is not a final 
spec. Coding to an unfinished spec is not worth the risk, imho. We chose to 
use slide, aside from the obvious webdav support (versioning, locks, 
role-based security, etc...) because slide supports cache invalidation and 
clustering with its new 2.1b. Implementing this feature-set with the 
incomplete JSR170 is not an option for us.

To do this you will need to perform a major 'gap-analysis' exercise.  The
functionality that is specified by the WebDav & JCR specifications are
basically over-lapping sets, i.e. the functionality of neither 
specification
is a subset of the other but there are significant degrees of overlap.

From my cursory introduction (I have been using both Slide and JCR170 for
about 3 months) the following areas spring to mind:
JCR Implementation
* - includes version control that allows you to roll back to a named
previous version.
* - Node Type definitions.  All nodes are related to a node type that
defines the details of attributes that can be assigned to that node and 
can
be used to restrict the type of children that can be attached.
* - XML Import & Export of Node hierarchies

WebDav Implementation
* - Ability to assign privileges to nodes (JCR spec deliberately excludes
this but does allow you to check if the user has appropriate privilege)
{ I am sure that there are other features that are in WebDav/DeltaV but 
not
in JCR170 but I am using the Slide Server API directly and found that 
Oliver
is right in saying that it's not a task to be undertaken lightly :) }

NB : Public release of JCR170 also includes the ability to have multiple
parents for a specific node

- wrap a webdav api (e.g. slide) with the jsr170 api
This has been discussed as in option inside Slide. If you plan to
implement something like that would you consider donating it to Slide?
