I am not sure, whether I understand you correctly. Currently the Jackrabbit protocol has an RMI library, which allows plain-JCR remoting over RMI. In addition there is a simple WebDAV servlet, which allows filesystem-like access over WebDAV to the repository and there is a JCR WebDAV servlet, which in fact remotes the JCR API over WebDAV using defined WebDAV functionality such as DASL etc. So, I would be very interested what we could add here ;-) As such, I would be willing to mentor such task.
