No, I'm using WebSphere 5.0

What then does it do and how does it relate to the nodestore?

Preferably metadata should be updated upon saving, but this is not a
requirement. I can do this in a separate process. What is a requirement is that
I use the existing database and filesystem structure to organise my files. This
means that I can't just plug in the TxFile.... stuff.

I'm always interested in cooperating

Can't remember where I found this out, but apparently if the basic
authentication fails, slide will look in a session attribute for a Principal. I
haven't confirmed that this will work, but I think it should look something
like this:
Principal principal = new Principal(){ public String getName() {return
"root";}};
((HttpServletRequest)request).getSession().setAttribute("org.apache.slide.webdav.method.principal",
principal);
As you can see, for now my usermanagement is binary, either you're allowed to
do anything or you're allowed to do nothing. If this works I can always add
granularity later on.
Hope this helps.
