Hi Sten, thanks for looking into that. I would like to express my support of any effort going into that direction. I think it would be great to have SOAP bindings for the SPI in Jackrabbit. In combination with JCR2SPI and SPI2JCR it makes for a very interesting remoting layer.
I think that this could be interesting in particular for the .NET [1] and PHP [2] ports [1] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib/jackrabbit-net/ [2] http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/contrib/phpcr/ regards, david On 4/10/07, Sten Roger Sandvik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
A little fast on the trigger there. Looked at the SPI for a brief moment and noticed that SPI2JCR project exists and that covers what I need to look at.
