hi cedric
there used to be a index.jsp, that roughly summarizes
the contents of the jcr-server.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/trunk/jcr-server/webapp/src/webapp/index.jsp
and there were various threads regarding the aim and
the status of the jcr-server in the dev list.
e.g.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jackrabbit.devel/6516/focus=6528
peter darton once wrote a HOWTO. apparently it never made it into the
docu:
http://www.mail-archive.com/jackrabbit-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg03759.html
and corrigenda:

its a chimaera....
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-417
points to the issue, that should improve this situation. particularly
separating the webdav-only part from the 'jcr-remoting-over-webdav'.
that fact, that the jcr-server contains 2 implementations with
completely different aims, apparently causes quite some confusion.
regarding 'full webdav server':
- we made some efforts to make the 'simple' server compliant to
RFC2518. i don't know, if its a 'full' webdav server, since
at Day we used to built thin webdav-views on top of our repository
and not focusing too much on the Webdav itself ;)
- maybe the following post may give you some hints about
the basics, that lead to the webdav-library present in
jackrabbit (and your question regarding 'slide'):

Hi all,
Can someone tell me what are the purposes of the different parts of
jcr-server ? I searched ML and wiki, but didn't found anything...
see above. the index.jsp and the mentioned HOWTO should
provide answers for this.
There are 4 folders :
- client, which I suppose to be a generic Java WebDAV client
- webdav, which I suppose to be the generic parts of a Java WebDAV
server, but not a server itself
- server, which seems to actually contains the WebDAV server, but it
also seems there are two different implementations. Is it true ? And
why ?
- webapp, which is the servlet part of the above server
see above
I also may be totally wrong about this.
If someone has pointers on relevant docs, wiki, ..., I would appreciate.
Of course, I would be happy to contribute back all the answers to a
wiki or something like that, to make the stuff more clear to other
users ?
Regards,
