Day software has a reference implementation for JAR-170 http://www.day.com. Apache also has a project for an open source implementation of JSR170: http://incubator.apache.org/jackrabbit/ Apache has an open source implementation for webdav: http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/index.html To use MS word and other webdav-enabled client to access contents in webdav is ok in most cases; however, you will not get the full functions of webdav - for example: view different versions, searching, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phillip Rhodes Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 12:11 AM To: Research Triangle Java User's Group mailing list.

I hadn't even thought about WebDAV, but that sounds like a real possibility. Thinking (somewhat) along those same lines, if you have the option of considering a real "fat client" like an office suite as the client, with the web acting only as a repository, there are a couple of other things I'd suggest looking at: 1. OpenOffice.org: is free, and has (in v 2.0+) support for scripting in Java. This is nice, since Java has great distributed computing support, and plays very well with web-services. I can see how you might construct a system like this by combining Oo.O and some Java code using web-services, or something like the following: 2. JSR-170: Content Repository for JavaTM technology API <http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=170> This is a more active JSR, and I believe I've seen some recent news about implementations starting to roll out. 3. JSR-147: Workspace Versioning and Configuration Management <http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=147> This one seems somewhat stalled as they haven't updated anything in a while.
