Hi Thorsten,
we use Tomcat 5.5.23 and java version 1.5.0_10 and slide 2.1 with a Tx-filestore using openSuSE 10.2 . Now everything works fine (~2000 User a day / ~10 Gb Transfer / ~20000 hits). But in the beginning we had the same problems.

I try to give some hints to increase the stability of slide:
1. You have to patch the slide-kernel. There is a bug with concurrent access. In the file jakarta-slide-server-src-2.1/src/share/org/apache/slide/store/ExtendedStore.java at line 149 an ordenary HashMap is used. You have to change line 149 to:
   private Map suspendedLocks = Collections.synchronizedMap(new HashMap());
To build the project use a build.properties
# ----- Compile Control Flags -----
compile.debug=on
compile.deprecation=off
compile.optimize=on
compile.target=1.4
build.compiler=modern
After that just change the slide-kernel-2.1.jar in the distro of slide that you are currently using. (Look at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/installation.html) 2. Next turn off the "sequential-mode" in the Domain.xml. This causes slide to wait with the next transaction until the current is done. We had some dead lock with that. To turn it of open your Domain.xml search for <parameter name="sequential-mode"> and replace it with
          <parameter name="sequential-mode">off</parameter>
3. If you use clustering always and ever use the udp protocol (its default). Look (linux) with from time to time with lsof -p PID how many files the slide-tomcat has open. 4. Use Jconsole to monitor memory and thread management of the tomcat. To do so start tomcat with the option -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote (no needed for java 1.6). After that start jconsole (an X-Server is required) and connect to your tomcat. In the case of a problem you are now able to only restart slide in a running tomcat: Go to the MBean-tab and navigate to Catalina->WebModule->//tomcat/->none->none then use tab Operations and press the Button reload. For more information of the jconsole look at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/management/jconsole.html 5. To make umlauts work use UTF-8 everywhere and use a tomcat 5.5 and slide 2.1. 6. Use apache2 with mod_jk and the ajp protocol. You than are able to use slide within a load-balance -worker. It is easy to configure. But look 3. ! And configure the clustercacherefresher properly. If you make a mistake your store will be lost.

Thorsten, I hope this will help. More things may be done, but I don't remember.

Is anyone out there who has a problem with my hints or has other good slide-tunings. Make a post. I'm curious.

Yours
Arne

We are using slide at the university of Dortmund now for two years. Thousands of users can be managed with slide. On one hand slide isn't maintained any more: As you mentioned no update was released. On the other hand, some developer are still working on the new 2.2 release that can be checked out in svn. The documentation of the project could be better, but the community is active.
We do not found an open source webdav-server that has implemented webdav so 
completely as slide does.
Please tell us what the result of your evaluation of slide is. Why do/don't you use slide? What are the alternatives?

Yours
 Arne

We are currently in the formative stages of a project that would utilize SLIDE and have a few questions about the SLIDE project. We have noticed that the SLIDE project has not updated in over two years. Is the SLIDE project active? Are defects acted upon and corrected?
