It was somewhat verbose but it would be straightforward to refactor that code to make it more concise and less Java-esque. In the discussion thread for that Jython article I mentioned that by using scripting languages you could end up with code like this -> http://forums.developer.emc.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/25-400-1379-70/GroovyDFCExample.txt. Although you could knock up DFC wrapper libraries in Jython, Scala, Groovy, JSR-168, etc and make it available as Open Source, what I would really like to see is EMC investing the time in this. It's high time that DocBasic was replaced anyway - let EMC push a JVM-based scripting solution that they will support. Being a Documentum developer I am quite envious of Alfresco and their implementation of Aspects, Web Scripts, Scripting, etc. AFAIK the example Jython script was not developed by EMC but by a partner (I could be wrong on this).
