so on your application - what happens when a user first logs in?
Do they start from the root file directory where users then click on their home folder or do they immediately start in their virtual directory?
How does your store differentiate from what Slide itself needs to do (based on the domain.xml) and what your application wants to do
(in terms of returning the virtual directories to the appropriate users, ....)?
What things do you need to know about Slide to implement this?
Thanks

Hi everybody
It's easy depending on what your store does. If you're not doing anything 'fancy' - such as what is given in the regular demo where every user starts out in a given root location, etc...I'm doing precisely that, my users have multiple homes and I dinamically create a tree of virtual folders representing
I think if you stray too much from what domain.xml and webdav spec defines, it's too easy to break Slide. I could be wrong but if all you need is access to
webdav servlet for a system that does not itself implement webdav spec file organization- it may be easier to implement it yourself. WCK seems easy (actually it is if you play by Slide's rules and lay everything out in a simple file structure) but it gets a lot more complicated and you have to know more about Slide if you want to change/customize some things. From my very limited understanding, Slide is not very flexible (yet?) (maybe because it so strongly adheres to the webdav spec - that is doesn't expect anyone using it not to do the same with their app). Slide is easy to break if you don't play exactly by its rules - which is somewhat difficult to know given that there isn't anyone who knows enough about the system that has time to fully document the details (though this mailing list helps).
For example, I could be wrong but it's difficult:
to have users start at a specific 'folder' (which is virtual - and has different contents on a user by user basis) when they first connect to the webdav server,
to easily give users access to specific files (which could dymanically change everytime) they connect,
and so on...
those homes, the content is dinamic and so are the users/groups rights on them, I think that the only drawback you
might have using wck is performance once your folders get huge as is often the case.
Just my 2 cents...
Alex.
someone please correct me if I'm wrong

Hi, I have my own store, with my own authentiation, I just want to use webdav servlet, implement the webdav without using any slide-store functions, is that possible?
