They are very similar. JNDI is a little more general: a namespace of Objects. VFS is a little more specific: a hierarchy of files. VFS does not try to be as universal as JNDI does, even though there is going to be plenty of overlap (find by name, create, delete, get/set attribute, etc). VFS adds things that don't make sense under JNDI's more general model (get content as a stream, content signing, copy a tree, converting to/from java.io.File, etc), and does things in a way that reflects how files get used (as opposed to how generic namespaces of Objects get used). -- Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
