[Building Sakai] Resources Access via Database

[Jez Cope]

Future-proofing would be good!

Not very important, but I think Jackrabbit and kin are JSR 170 (yes, 
there are far too many JSRs to remember!) – IIRC 168 is portlets.

What other functionality might be useful for this type of integration?
