Hello James, My (personal) concentration of effort is more about WebDAV (and the associated standards) than the current Slide CM API. I think Remy (and the JSR 170 team) is going to put some effort in this area. Your generic accessor idea looks pretty good and ambitious; it would be very nice, if you find yourself in the position doing this in Slide (IMO).

I do respect the amount of work that has been put into Slide thus far - lots of "reading the spec and implementing" as well as creative extras. What I'm proposing is some enhancements to make it more viable beyond the direct webdav/deltav support. If my proposals stand outside the realm of where Slide wants to go, feel free to say so and I'll make a separate project to handle my requirements. Again, I want to help make Slide even better, as others do as well. Our concern is that its not supported well (I still have an outstanding question regarding locks from 3/6). If out of this thread we can "rally the troops" so to speak and get more doco, mailing list support by those that are digging in deeper, and some nice refactorings in the future, then my goal has been achieved. With that, I would be willing to assist in any design around a central kernel API that can be communicated via any number of gateways, and a revised set of struts tags and examples that would take advantage of this new API. I am on a project right now that needs this, so I am currently pulling code from the xxxMethod classes into my own API for now. Obviously, my project will have to come first but any spare time I have is yours - I would love to see this project really take off even more than it has already.
