Hi hrjk,

please prefix your post with [vfs], else chances are good my mailfilter
wouldnt get them  - and its common to do so on such umbrella lists.

As always with open source, we (I) cant promise anything.

This shouldn't be too hard to do, just some additional stuff in
HttpConfigurationOptionsBuilder. Did you ever considered to contribute a
patch? *hint hint* ;-)
At least please provide a complete listing of stuff you need.

JNDI is "Java Naming and Directory  Interface" - something like a VFS
for dummies ;-) - no - just kidding.
I think its common use case is to access an LDAP server.
Having a JNDI provider in VFS means that you are able to access data on
this LDAP server.

So sorry, no, no way to map a network drive.

For this to work we need JNI (Java Native Interface) and some native
code for the underlaying OS. I have no plans to do such a thing. On the
other hand, I thought about preparing a proposal for a JNI interface for
VFS to do things like changing file attributes, maintaining its ACL and
so on.
Maybe a student will work on it for the next Google Summer Of Code - if
there is one for sure.

Ciao,
Mario
