RE: Slide is a Document Manager?
Please copy me on code for this. We're looking at building a doc manager as well. Currently looking at JetSpeed and Liferay. Looks like JetSpeed is built on top of slide, so may be advantage to go with JetSpeed. Only issue there seems to be, at least to me, is that JetSpeed seems to take so long to come up.

Ok, my base project is Jetspeed. I create a portal with jetspeed, but now, i need a document manager. It's interesting the new cms/doc man for Jetspeed... IS it a solid project?

Slide is a good tools. It provides a Java API + a webdav folder but it better to used it via the Webdav layer. We (David and myself) are building new a CMS/doc management for Jetspeed which will be based on different content repo plugins in order to access to heterogenous content repository (based on different protocols). Default pluging are a webdav client and another one based on persitence component made by Scott for J2.

Re: My Slide store implementation experience
Yes, please send copy to me also, if possible. I'd like to get my feet wet here. We also would like to look at writing a versioning system with slide/webdav layer above. Or at least understand how to display previous versions to users, that may already be stored in the history area.

Document how to write a Store (thoroughness about the interface would be most appreciated!) The thing that makes Java so easy to develop with is that the class libraries that come with the JRE (and JDK) are very well documented. 2. Document the data structures! In fact, I would very much appreciate calling a method with a descriptive identifier instead of figuring out that I have to put a (String, NodeRevisionNumber) into a Hashtable of latestRevisionNumbers. 3. This may come as a surprise: If there was a high-level interface that abstracted WebDAV with more raw operations, such as MOVE and MAKECOL, I would have preferred to write to that interface. As I am implementing a versioning filesystem, I had difficulty with the translation from PUT MAKECOL into NodeStore.createObject() ContentStore.createRevisionContent() in terms of knowing what was a file and what was a directory. I implemented this first creating object nodes as 0 length files in our document management system backend. Once I received a request to create an object as a child of this object, I transformed the 0 length file into a folder and then created the sub-child as a 0 length file.. Is there a better way? +1 on the above list! I'd love to use Slide for the WebDAV layer talking to my own store, but my last two efforts stranded in lack of time as I was trying to reverse-engineer the existing stores to extract the specs from them. Ty, if your store isn't too complex, I'd love to have a peek to see if I could use it as a starter for my own.

newbie question - best resource/guides to programming with WebDAV?
What is best way/resource to get to break into this type of programming? I am a total newbie to this, and would like to know how to do the whole authentication/authorization thing using Apache/Slide and WebDav. Specifically, I've already got users and groups defined in an Oracle database, and would like to use this information to manage access to files under WebDav. This gets into the details of the applications that reside at application server/web server? I'm assuming that the webdav applications reside in the web server and are not like cgi scripts that are explicitly called from a get or post. Please verify, and forgive my newbieness. Thanks, Charlie ;) jl 5/10/2004 12:37:05 AM Hi Jeff! The WebDAV protocol does not contain any support for creating users. However Slide does have a way of solving this - if you use mkcol in you users collection, slide will automatically add DAV:principal element to the DAV:resourcetype property! Adding users to groups can be done using proppatch to set content of DAV:group-member-set. If you want to be these user to handle passwords too, the you have to user the SlideRealm in you tomcat server.xml /jacob - Original Message - From: J H [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 07, 2004 4:31 PM Subject: Create New Users Hi all, I'm trying to find some information on if the webdav protocol supports creating new users. What I'm trying to do is I'm building an applet which can browse documents, but I also want to create an admin tool, so that the administrator can assign users access to reports. It looks like to me that the application server (tomcat) is handling the authentication of users, but as of yet, I can't find anything on how to add users. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, even correct keywords to search for on the net! :) Thanks, Jeff _ Mother's Day is May 9.

Slide vs WebDav
Can one seemlessly save a file from client without WebDAV. By seemless, I mean being able to save without going through an upload button. You'd just put in the http://.../filename reference in the save window from MS Word or WordPerfect.
