Less shredding. More satisfying.

Suppose I have an xml stream like this:

<transmission id="1234" sender="agent1">
    <document id="blabla-01" >
       <foo/>
       <bar/>
       <baz/>
    </document>
    <document id="blabla-02">
       <eeny/>
       <meeny/>
       <miney/>
       <moe/>
    </document>
</transmission>

I want to *import* this xml into JR as something like this:

/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-01/jcr:primaryType = nt:resource
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-01/jcr:encoding = UTF-8
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-01/jcr:encoding = 
mimeType=text/xml
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-01/jcr:data = <document 
id="blabla-01" ><foo/><bar/><baz/></document>
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-01/jcr:lastModified = 15Apr2007
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-02/jcr:primaryType = nt:resource
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-02/jcr:encoding = UTF-8
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-02/jcr:encoding = 
mimeType=text/xml
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-02/jcr:data = <document 
id="blabla-02"><eeny/><meeny/><miney/><moe/></document>
/gateway/transmissions/agent1/1234/blabla-02/jcr:lastModified = 15Apr2007

for the import, I expect to supply an XPath expression (or an XSLT) in 
order to construct the paths.  (Or, to supply a node type def XML.)

I do not want to write any "code" (such as a SAX handler) specifically 
for this data model.  

Is this supported by JCR?   By Jackrabbit?   By WebDAV tooling that 
constructs an appropriate path?

Interesting, I'm bumping into this same issue right now. Can you  
elaborate a little more on how you're using it?

And do you have to use the server-based deployment flavors of  
Jackrabbit in order to do this? How about those of us embedding  
Jackrabbit directly into desktop apps?

Answering my own question:

    Restlet + Jackrabbit

The xslt for Message --> Content is a bit tricky, but very usable once 
you get the trick.
