Joe,

so you haven't meet a system with 6000 files yet - dude ;-)

The generation of REST services needed fo 6000 files will be a process
that takes about 30 minutes in my environment.

And the services will all have an "output parameter"

output=json
output=xml
output=csv
output=html

I do agree - I have never meet a system or an application that needed acces
to all 6000 files but either we just generates in batch or we pick up the
nessecary files
