Hello, Regarding the webdav features, our partners are really interested on the basic webdav, ACL, Versioning, Binding and DASL features. Besides that, event triggering is a real plus on Slide although its not part of the webdav specs.
We felt that the TxStore is a solid and consistent way to persist our content and metainformation despite Slide's lack of performance (we tested different DB stores against TxStore and, after the resources are loaded into memory, every store has the same performance). We have the feeling that Slide's frightening core architecture and the poor implementation of ACL (perhaps forced by the architecture) is the main reason of slide's less than optimal performance. We didn't felt necessary to use slide transactions features, although we have the feeling that this feature really helps on Slide's internal consistency. Like Michael Oliver said earlier, the ability to configure different stores might be important for integration purposes with other document management systems. What's missing on slide is a standard way of doing it... perhaps designing a SPI, or even better, support the JSR 170 for storage [southbound] (and while we are on it for interfacing with other software [northbound] would be really cool) Hope this helps, Miguel Figueiredo -----Original Message----- From: Jarrah Hands [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: sexta-feira, 30 de Setembro de 2005 2:13 To: 'Slide Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: New webdav server - survey of interest Davenport isn't too bad for small scale/ease of use, especially now that JCIFS is at version 1.2.4 and a little more stable. Not as customizable as slide though (very easy to set up and tie in with windows domains/samba shares though) Jarrah Hands Software Engineer (Business Applications) The University of Notre Dame Australia 19 Mouat Street (PO Box 1225) Fremantle, Western Australia 6959 Tel: +61 9 9433 05287 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: V K [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 30 September 2005 7:39 AM To: Slide Users Mailing List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: New webdav server - survey of interest What are the recommendations on existing WebDAV products besides Slide? VK Michael Oliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On the surface it sounds interesting. To me the features of slide that I value the most are the custom stores that allow me to integrate with the outside world most easily and the TxFile stores are great, but I can extend them because they are open source to accommodate my needs. The only complaints I have center on performance (mostly because they save way too much redundant metadata) and on some details that seem less than fully thought out, like member-list attributes and consistency. So a commercial product that solves the problems while preserving the power and flexibility would indeed be interesting. Michael Oliver CTO Alarius Systems LLC 6800 E.

We are building a webdav server with the following characteristics and would like to get an idea of interest from this group in using something like this. Features: - Webdav server supporting versioning but not deltaV - Simple java API to tie your apps directly (API will be similar to java.io.File api - direct and intuitive) - Meta-data stored in database, files on distributed file servers with redundant storage (every file stored on n-server nodes; automatic replication if node fails; dynamically add any number of server nodes). - Focus on performance, performance, performance (one of the shortcomings of slide is that it tries to be too generic). - Externally managed user definition with user and security API (not ACL protocol, but ACL/permission based security) - Every user has their own "home" dir. Ability to map to other directories, ability to soft-link to any directory (a windows-like network-folder model) Future versions will support full-text search and other features. This would be a commercial product.
