Why JSR-170?
Our 6.0 WebFile Server release adds a JSR-170 layer to the API. The existing API works just fine, and it adds RM functions that correspond to the features in the Enterprise Document Manager product. So why a JSR-170 layer?
Our intent was to help developers re-use their knowledge of an API across multiple systems--and not just ours. In this first release, the API is read-only (a.k.a. "level I support" for the standard). In a short time, we'll be publishing the level II, read/write API.
