why should documentManager.create?

I'm wondering why documentManager.create exists?

This method just copies xml from one sourceURI to another.
What then are 
you to do if your document is not xml, or not even stored in
a file?

Should the method be removed and the document content create
be moved 
into the usecase? Then the developer can make a usecase
implementation 
for each of their document types.

Hmmm - I can't find the method ...
Do you mean the interface
o.a.lenya.cms.publication.DocumentManager?

There's a create method in the DocumentManagerImpl, it is
used by add().
But it copies arbitrary sources (not only XML) ...

At the moment, DocumentManager.add() creates a new document
by using
the sample content provided by the resource type.
Post-processing
of the created content should be handled by the usecase.

Would you mind giving an example what you mean? Thanks!
