Thanks Chris this is helpful to get a clarification. The only reason we
want to do at a service level so we can have more fine grain control based
on users/groups and their roles. We will start by looking at the tomcat
layer and will ask more questions along the way.

Paraphrasing Supun: Seems like OODT currently supports files organized in a
flat structure. Any suggestions on how to support data products organized
in hierarchal directories. As an example, say an Experiment has a Workflow
which runs bunch of simulations all organized as inputs and outputs under a
parent experiment. Can we point the file manager to such a organization or
is it expected that the hierarchy be managed outside (through metadata key
value pairs or otherwise)?

Thanks,
Suresh
