Hello nick, Also, check out this code snippet I've found in slide's mailing list:
// open web folder from IE (windows 2000/XP) <body> <STYLE> A {behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick);} </style> <A HREF = "http://localhost:8080/storage/files/Survey.doc"; FOLDER = "http://localhost:8080/storage/files/"; TARGET = "_blank" > Open in Web Folder View </a> </body> And this message http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06490.html witch gives an insight on how to open an Microsoft Office document in edit mode, using Java code inside a JSP or servlet. You can open a document in edit mode, and then upload it to server, when performing save within webdav enabled editors. Examples include Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org and the Acrobate Writer, if I remember correctly. If you wanted to open every kind of documents (for example an autocad drawing, not just word documents) in edit mode AND upload changes directly to the server, one solution is making your own web folder client or and 'Windows Explorer' twin, witch is what my company team is working on nowadays. Other possible solutions are, like Oliver said, netdrive or similar products. Best regards, Miguel _______ Hi Nick! If you are on Windows either mount Slide as described in http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/xp.html or use a product like NetDrive from Novell which can even map it to a drive letter. If you are on Mac have a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/osx.html. Be sure to adapt the web.xml in this case as suggested in http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/faq.html Oliver Nick Longinow wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am just getting started with Slide, and have wrestled all day with this > one. > > Maybe you can hel p ? > > > > I have created a document collection and added (put) a document into slide > > via java webdav client.
