Pax VFS is quite self contained, its scope is limited to pushing Commons VFS as a first class OSGi citizen. Later, it could of course integrate with Hansa as the SPI provider for the *fetching* and *storing* part of the *fetching, storing, validating, signing, securing and other manipulations of immutable and opaque resources*objective ;) BTW, it reminds me of SFelix: http://sfelix.gforge.inria.fr/ It's a modified Felix which enforces security.

Sure that would be great ! Actually, when thinking about hosting my project at OPS4J, I must admit I was thinking about synergies with Pax URL ;) What's more, we could even add write support to protocols currently supported by Pax URL in order to make them available as Pax VFS providers ! > > So, go on, commit your code and we jump in.
