Ok, I figured out part of the Item authorization and am working through some related AccessManager issues. But the primary question that I still have is how should I setup the workspaces given the below setup.

Each client will need access to only one folder (or sub-folder in the workspace depending on how we set it up. After working with the AccessManager I'm leaning towards just giving each client their own workspace to ease any access issues (like they don't have access to the root workspace, but they do have access to a specific sub-folder).

Would love to hear others opinions before I go down this path though.

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out the best way to implement this.

First, I'll start with our layout. We have several people who will be uploading files to a WebDAV client powered by Jackrabbit. So, they each need their own secure "folder". There are two ways to look at this:
1) Each "folder" is a workspace
2) Each "folder" is a sub-folder under one workspace

Option 1) doesn't look as good after reading this (http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/DavidsModel ). This brings us to option 2). Under option 2) I'm trying to figure out how to authorize someone for a specific folder under the main workspace. Once I have the item id, I need to determine what kind of Item it is and what it's real name is (i.e. the folder name). What is the best way to do this? Does anyone have an example?

Thanks in advance!
