We use both URLs and URIs in the vfs, but still rely on the URL handler
mechanism for content. There needs to be some mechanism to obtain
content streams and properties/attributes for the endpoint. We should
have a common lib for either URIs or EPRs. Give a pointer to the EPR
code in the ESB codebase.

How about moving away from URLs to URIs or EPRs (WS-Addressing

References)? We use EPRs, which are basically URIs with some additional
meta-data (which can be null if you want). URLs are ok and my JBossESB
5.0 prototype runs on current Remoting and does a mapping from EPR down
to URL when it needs to, but they are pretty limiting. Plus URL doesn't
support SFTP or FTPS.
