-----Original Message----- From: Pawel Garbacz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Questions of Slide Hello, I am currently working on a project for my company that could help to manage documents, their versions and - the most important - their descriptions provided by set of attributes attached to the document. I found that project Slide on the Internet and I think it is quite really interesting for this purpose. I came to those questions: Is there a posibility to extend Slide in such a way we get an interface to enter in a special form (on a web page) those attributes before (or maybe just after) storing the document into the repository? I mean is there any posibility to extend actions like PUT, GET, etc. in order to present to the user the form into which he or she can enter the properties describing the resource? [Mike Oliver>>] While it is possible to extend the slide servlet and even add JSP pages to the slide servlet container to build a web based html application to do that, I would not. I would build a Struts Application and use the Slide Client Library to talk to Slide. Why? Because the forms you are talking about likely include multiple properties and Slide is atomic in its property management, so using the Client Library to do PROPPATCH on the properties of your forms will be much cleaner. What should I do in order to search the database in order to get the list of files containing some text entered as a query? I consider I should use a WebDAV's SEARCH method, but this is through the DAV protocol. I want to develop a web form, the user can enter query into it, and then he or she gets the results of the query in a simple web page. [Mike Oliver>>] Again the slide servlet could be extended but I would do it with a Struts Application and use the Slide Client Library behind your actions. Is there a posibility to provide a functionality to allow the user to click on a resource in order to edit and _save_ the file back into the repository? [Mike Oliver>>] Huh? You should learn more about WebDAV because that is exactly what you do in a WebFolder or from a Microsoft Office application accessing Slide. I am sorry for those simple questions, but I cannot find any resource in the Internet that could help me overcome those problems I wrote above. Thanks. -- Greetings, Pawel Garbacz PS To Oliver Zeigermann: sorry - you are absolutely right! ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
