DavCache on top of JBossCache

[belaban]

Take a look at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=80159.

This is cool stuff, Mirko created a webdav frontend for JBossCache, so you can now 'mount' JBossCache to act like a file system !
At the above URL, you also have an example of a CMS system, where HTML pages can simply be dropped into the webdrive and they are automatically added to the CMS !

Nice stuff. Not to be pessimistic though, true CMS functionality cannot be achieved without being able to version the data, roll back to specific versions, etc.

This is exactly what JSR 171 (IIRC) does: Java Content Repository. An implementation could be based on JBossCache. What they essentially do for versioning is to create another subtree for the same data with a version number++. Reverting back to an old version simply entails setting the view to the new branch.
