Hi,
I'm working for quite some time on the light-weight VFS layer (with the java.io.* as the only provider at the moment) to be used as the Tomcat's physical file system access. The ultimate goal is to be able to run the Tomcat on top of things like Hadoop or similar distributed file systems (eg. GFS) by just using the provider module. Now, the amount of changes is pretty huge but it involves mostly changing the java.io.* with the o.a.t.vfs.* counterparts. Since this "Pseudo VFS" has exactly the same API (with the Java7 additions), no functional code change is needed. Sure there are some additional config directives used to define which parts are using which vfs provider as default. (or by just using the root="file://web/apps" or hdfs://<host>:<port>/web/apps notion for non-clustered environments) I'd like to create a sandbox project for that (was thinking of /sandbox/tomcat-vfs) Comments?
