VFS - Next

ram filesystem

2. apply http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36047

services & svn filesystem (we have to setup an external space to provide the svn filesystem as the used library JavaSVN is LGPL)

we need a discussion about a new name instead of "services" (maybe).

The idea is to have calls like

...

• serivce - getService()
• aspect - getAspect()
  

3. user api

a way to avoid to put username/password into the url.

Using a callback mechanism to get this data when needed.

4. progress & cancellation api

callbacks to be informed about ongoing operations (copy, move, rename, delete, copy-progress, move-progress (if between filesystems))

5. browse roots

e.g. smb or local partitions (windows - c:, d:, ...)

6. caching review - allow to configure fileObjects internal state cache

This is to avoid the .close() calling to get fresh data.

Sure, this might slow down alot, but if one would like have it, it should be possible.

7. file permissions (non-native)

(with non native code only)

figure out a way to represent file permissions and a way to modify then

8. native parts (if possible through jdic)

• filesystem notifications - to get informed about external filesystem events
• file permissions to allow fine grained setup for local files
