Please note that the current value of the resource API over the JCR API is only that it is simpler, thus more quickly to implement with some custom backend. If more and more is added to the Resource API, especially all the complexities of write operations, this value will be completely lost, and I would urge everyone doing so to implement the needed subset of the JCR API instead. Federation/virtual mounting (which is another useful feature of the resource API) can also be done with the JCR API as modeshape shows or something that we have in our proprietary CRX repository here at Adobe/Day. It all just boils down to the development effort... but with JCR you get a well-though out standard. Just my 2 cents, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek Developer // Adobe (Day) // Berlin - Basel
