Re: Why need read privilege on upstream folders to achieve a writ e permission
Hi James,
it used to be there, at least two years ago or so.
You asked for a pointer, here it is:

}

public void generate(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
while (resources.hasMoreElements()) {
String currentResource = (String) resources.nextElement();
NodeRevisionDescriptor currentDescriptor = null;
permissionsList = null;
locksList = null;
try {
NodeRevisionDescriptors revisionDescriptors =
content.retrieve(slideToken, currentResource);
// Retrieve latest revision descriptor
currentDescriptor =
content.retrieve(slideToken, revisionDescriptors);
} catch (SlideException e) {
I think here should be a continue for Security exception
// Silent exception : Objects without any revision are
// considered collections, and do not have any attributes
// Any security based exception will be trapped here
// Any locking based exception will be trapped here
}
Regarding the all this traversal stuff: When I worked with this
I would have needed
the possibility to say in a parent: This permission is
inheritable. Then in
some deeper child stop inheritence from parents from here on.
The traverse permission from Warwick Burrows sounds pretty good
though.
However, I think the traverse permission is not how the read
permission works on
collections.
Regards,
Andreas

Aha, you're absolutely right! I've completely forgotten about this
GET/PROPFIND difference.
About the code - WebdavServlet relies on its parent - HttpServlet - handle
GET request if it applies to a collection:
if ((methodName.equalsIgnoreCase(GET) ||
methodName.equalsIgnoreCase(POST))
isCollection(req)) {
// let the standard doGet() / doPost() methods handle
// GET/POST requests on collections (to display a directory
// index pag or something similar)
super.service(req, resp);
}
So this collection case should have some special handling. Probably just
the substitution of the GET request by the PROPFIND will do the trick but I
can't tell for sure - I'm not an expert in their syntax.
Yours sincerely,
Andrey.

Importance: Low
I would expect any WebDAV client to behave this way,
actually. A WebDAV client uses PROPFIND to get a list of the
children of a collection. A normal browser on the other hand
issues a GET. The problem here is the GET request is listing
all children rather than just the children the user has
access to. I consider this a security issue, albeit a minor one.
I'm having trouble tracking down how GETs are handled
specially for collections, so I'm hoping someone who's
familiar with the code will step in with a solution or at
least a pointer in the right direction.

Actually, it's not a big deal, although ideally all WebDAV clients

can say that MacOS WebDAV support is consistent with WebFolders in
handling
GET requests.
Yours sincerely,
Andrey.
You're right. It looks like this is a bug in the way GET
requests for
collections are handled. I'll look into this.

Hi, Warwick, James, everybody!
My 2 cents about the matter.
Just to clarify, your traverse permission *is* how the read
permission works on collections. If you get a list of the
children of
a collection you will only see the children to which you
have read
access as well.
It depends on the client, actually. WebFolders are OK, but IE, for
example,
shows all children - with 2.0, at least.
Slide and Excel
Hi, I'm using slide with macos x build-in webdav client, and I have a problem with ms excel : when several users having readwrite permissions open the same excel file at the same time, the first user gets the file in read/write mode (ok), but the second one can't open the file. Excel shows this error : The file may be read-only or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding It seems that excel wants to write something in the xls file each time a user opens a xls, because if all the users have only read access to the file, they all can open the file (read only). Did anybody already have this problem and found a workaround ? (excel settings, or something else ?) I don't want users to make a local copy of the file each time they want to open it.

Deploying slide on WebLogic Server 8.1
I have successfully deployed slide.war server libraries on WebLogic Server 8.1 using BASIC authentication. Steps are as under:- 1) I created a domain e.g. test 2) Created a new Security Realm... (e.g. WabanDAV) 3) Then using Providers Tab create the follwing: a) DefaultAdjudicator b) DefaultIdentity DefaultAsserter c) DefaultAuthorizer d) DefaultCredentialMapper e) DefaultRoleMapper 4) After that click to your domain name in your left pane (Here mine is test) - Click from the right pane to the hyperlink View Domain-wide Security Settings - Select the Default Realm from the list box (here mine is WabanDAV) and click Apply button 5) Click on the User Management Tab for WabanDAV Security Realm a) Click the Manage Groups within Security Realm - Configure a new group by giving name as mygroup b) Click Manage Users within Security Realm hyperlink to create new users - Create the following new users by clicking hyperlink Configure a new User - Create following users by filling up Name and Password fields:- - User NamePassword(Min 8 characters) i) root rootpass ii) guest guestpass c) Select user root and click on Groups Tab - Select the mygroup from the Possible Groups list box to Current Groups This will allow the group to which this user belongs. Similarly, Select user guest and click on Groups Tab and select the group for the user guest 6) Enable the auth-constraint element in web.xml. Check the web.xml:- web-app - - - auth-constraint role-nameroot/role-name role-nameguest/role-name /auth-constraint user-data-constraint transport-guaranteeNONE/transport-guarantee /user-data-constraint /security-constraint login-config auth-methodBASIC/auth-method realm-nameWabanDAV/realm-name /login-config security-role role-nameroot/role-name /security-role security-role role-nameguest/role-name /security-role - - - - web-app 6) Create the weblogic.xml !DOCTYPE weblogic-web-app PUBLIC -//BEA Systems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 8.1//EN http://www.bea.com/servers/wls810/dtd/weblogic810-web-jar.dtd; weblogic-web-app security-role-assignment role-nameroot/role-name principal-namemygroup/principal-name /security-role-assignment security-role-assignment role-nameguest/role-name principal-namemygroup/principal-name /security-role-assignment /weblogic-web-app 7) Create the slide.war and test using http://localhost:7001/slide/ - This will provide the Login Screen - Fill up the username as root and password as rootpass and check the application. I hope this will be helpful to those who wants to deploy slide on WebLogic. Currently, I am just working on how to set up Oracle Store. If some one has idea please let me know. Also, I would be grateful if some one can give guidelines on how to run the client libraries using WebLogic. Cheers, Dharmesh
clientlib: WebdavResource.exists does not actively test for the resource's existence (javadoc-patch)
Hello,
the current Javadoc for WebdavResource.exists says:
public boolean exists()
Test if it exists.
This is a bit misleading, because it does not test, but return the last
known information about the existence of this resource. So, if you
create a WebdavResource with an action of NOACTION, this method will
always return false.
I have attached a patch, which clarifies the Javadoc on this issue.
Best regards,
Michael

Re: Archive File Management using Slide
James Thanks for the reply. In my initial design I plan to number 3: 3) Store everything in a single file. When someone adds a comment you just overwrite the file. You could take advantage of Slide's versioning features so that you can rollback if someone posts an inapproriate comment. But i concern about the concurrency issues, e.g: User is viewing entry01_01.html but at the same moment a user is requesting this page for viewing. And I think I am still lost in slide framework, I think I shall dig in a bit deeper on slide first. Btw do you mind if I post an email to your inbox like this ? Regards, Zainul James Mason wrote: You might want to come up with a different strategy for storing comments. If you're deleting files all the time it's going to be hard to make a permalink or even bookmark for a blog entry. Here are a couple ideas: 1) For each entry make a collection that contains an entry.html file for the entry and a comment_XX.html (where XX is a number) file for each comment. When a user views the collection you'll need to dynamically pull all of the html files together to display. 2) Similar to 1 but with a single file for all the comments. When someone adds a comment you just update that file. This way you wouldn't have to dynamically build the page, but a user would have to go to a separate page to view/add comments. 3) Store everything in a single file.

Searching problem.
For days, I have been trying to understand how to do a search based on an integer value. I have some questions: Slide always perform string comparisons?

RE: Searching in Slide
There's no tool that _I_ know of but then I'm still a newbie to this product too. And although you have a lot of files to copy you would still have to go through the process of uploading them into the DB anyway so it is probably no more time consuming than a tool would be. I've had good results with Slide and win explorer myself but haven't copied 60Gb :-) The one issue that Kranga brought up is that although it will copy the properties of each file too, some of the live properties like creation date, etc, will be changed. Dead properties shouldn't but you would need to check which properties are changed and compensate if you want the original values kept.

I hope this will be helpful to those who wants to deploy slide on WebLogic. Currently, I am just working on how to set up Oracle Store. If some one has idea please let me know. Also, I would be grateful if some one can give guidelines on how to run the client libraries using WebLogic.

RE: Can I use Slide to send files to a WebDav server?
You can use the Slide WebDAV client to write to your WebDAV server. The webapp you see is the Slide WebDAV server itself. The client communicates with any DAV server. You can download the client package separately from the Slide server package. The latest version is the 2.1 beta which was released last week.

Hello, Sorry for being the confused new guy - but I'm a little lost. I have a java process that yanks a large datafile from my company's database and then I need to deposit the file on another company's WebDav server. It looks to me, from the downloads page, that Slide is an entire web-app. All I (think) I need is a couple of jars out of that package so I can call WebDav methods from my application. Is that true? Anybody know what jars I need and if there are any examples lying around. Or am I looking in the wrong spot altogether?

RE: Slide and Excel
You may be able to configure the DAV server to use shareable instead of excusive locks. In theory then they can all open the file writable if need be. Running options on the server will tell you which mode its running in currently. You can configure shared locks in Domain.xml I think.

Excel shows this error : The file may be read-only or you may be trying to access a read only location. Or, the server the document is stored on may not be responding It seems that excel wants to write something in the xls file each time a user opens a xls, because if all the users have only read access to the file, they all can open the file (read only). Did anybody already have this problem and found a workaround ? (excel settings, or something else ?) I don't want users to make a local copy of the file each time they want to open it.

RE: Can I use Slide to send files to a WebDav server?
Thanks, Warwick. I missed that. From the FAQ, there are no examples. Is that still true?

There are a few examples on the Wiki. Also, the source to the command line client is a fairly good reference. -James Matt Reason wrote: Thanks, Warwick. I missed that.

Re: clientlib: WebdavResource.exists does not actively test for the resource's existence (javadoc-patch)
Thanks for the patch. I've applied to the code in CVS.

Hello,
the current Javadoc for WebdavResource.exists says:
public boolean exists()
Test if it exists.
This is a bit misleading, because it does not test, but return the last
known information about the existence of this resource. So, if you
create a WebdavResource with an action of NOACTION, this method will
always return false.
I have attached a patch, which clarifies the Javadoc on this issue.
Best regards,
Michael
