Hi,

I'd like to add lenya support in URIQA4J[1]. URIQA4J is an implementation of 
Nokia's URIQA [2] and exposes metadata of resources as RDF via HTTP. You 
could say its WebDAV for metadata.

In URIQA, the client makes a request about a resource via custom HTTP methods 
MGET, MPUT and MDELETE, to retreive or update the metadata for it. The 
resource is identified by the request URI and the response is usualy an RDF 
document. An alternative HTTP interface exists that performs the same stuff 
via the usual HTTP methods.

Anyway; URIQA4J usually exposes POJOs as RDF. A "port" to lenya will be a lot 
more performant as i will be handling LenyaMetadata (right?) so no need for 
reflection and other stuff demanded by arbitrary objects. 

The URIQA requests are intercepted by a servlet filter and processed by an 
HTTP servlet. 

Couple of questions:

* is the metadata API considered stable?
 
* my understanding is that all i have to do to obtain meta for a given URI is 
to create a MetaDataManager. How do i do that within the same web context as 
lenya? Avalon is unknown territory for me and i cant figure out where i 
should get the ServiceManager and Logger from to pass them in the 
MetaDataManager constructor.
