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)?
