It should be possible, but I see one big problem with doing this: how are you going to keep the metadata in sync when someone moves or copies a file?
Since you mention network places, I'm assuming you're currently using a windows or samba share for the files? Depending on what kind of access you're needing you could use WebFolders to expose a Slide repository in the My Network Places area. The problem with this is that only a few applications will be able to directly access the files. For most things your users would have to copy the file to a local drive to open it and make changes. Another option is to use Novell's NetDrive (or something similar) to mount the Slide repository as a mapped drive. I'm not sure what the lisencing is for NetDrive, but it's available to download for free: http://support.novell.com/servlet/filedownload/uns/pub/ndrv41862.exe/ or http://www.acs.uwosh.edu/novell/netdrive.htm. There's a group of people where I work who have found this to work quite well. -James >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/24/2004 10:26:19 PM >>> Hi all, I am using slide 2.0 binary and separate tomcat 4.1.30 binary versions. Currently I am using file system based store (which comes default in slide domain.xml file). Now my question is, is there any way (through configuring the domain.xml) that we can only store the xml files (i.e. metadata) and not the actual content. The purpose of doing this is my actual repository is different then Slide and still I want show the files in network place. (so what I believe is if I can store only metadata in Slide and actual content in my separate repository then using metadata information I can atleast show the contents in the network place). If this is possible please provide what all I have to do for this.
