Here, here! I agree as well. Also on my wish list are the following JNDI providers: Webdav/DeltaV Webdav/DeltaV with extentions for Subversion BTW some of the slide code may perhaps come in handy for this. Don't know for certain until I do some research. > The basic ingredients for this are already there in the sources from > tomcat (see the FileDirContext class in the resources package of > naming/core).

I would love to help on this but I need to get Eve up and running soon. I've been too busy reading literally thousands of pages in IETF and ITU documents lately: refreshing myself. I can help work on this at a high level however I cannot get into the code until after a couple of months of groking Eve. Oh and another thing I think Noel and I spoke about it at some point in time: let's see if we can get file system change notification working for filesystems like NTFS which support it. Unfortunately UNIX does not have a filesystem with this feature out there. Don't know why but I suspect it may have something to due with the locking model differences between NTFS and most other FS.
