Hi Solanki, if you are actually creating users thru the Domain.xml, but not changing tomcat-users files, chanches are that you have your tomcat set-up correctly. Anyway, there are three ways to install Slide : 1) The source distribution 2) The binary distribution 3) The tomcat bundle When using

PropPatchMethod and property data types

2004-05-24 Thread Paananen, Tero
Looks like PropPatchMethod is not supporting setting datatypes on the properties to be set, thus limiting me to setting String type properties only. Since my project absolutely requires support for other data types on the client side, I'm in wee bit of trouble. Before I go ahead and extend Slide

Hi, I'm quite sure there is no problem with writing the file twice, you should however have a look at the locking system defined in WebDav ... not because Slide has problems, but because your users might have problems if they go on overwriting one eachother files. Chapter 6 of the WebDav RFC

Hi Tero, I'm afraid properties are strings (actually, XML fragments) because this is defined in the WebDav specifications, of which Slide is an implementation. Also the entire WebDav protocol provides only String exchange, and provides propfind methods based on strings. Anyway, you can put an

Al, I'm glad you like the idea :). One of my personal pet peeves is the lack of LDAP support for user management in a lot of opensource products, so I'm hoping I can help remedy that a little. I think one has to consider what the benefits of using LDAP are as a user store? I would have thought

I think JNDI may have a benefit here, plus slide could also benefit from a little JNDI support, again these are not areas of my expertese, just my $0.02, and I would certainly be prepared to help as long as the code was contributed back (I.E opensourced). I'll have to check with my boss
