I wrote an EmbeddedDomainBean which wraps Slide's EmbeddedDomain. This allows you to setup your Slide namespace via Spring application contents, which is nice. I'm using the Postgres RDBMS store rather than the file system store. I found the file system store's Lucene integration too early-stage to be useful. Postgres' tsearch2 module works well for full text indexing. I wrote a new adapter that uses Postgres' large objects rather than BYTEA columns, as performance and memory consumption became issues with large files. Using Postgres large objects works very well indeed. Most of Slide's classes require a NamespaceAccessToken, so I wrote a NamespaceAccessTokenFilter. This lives in a Spring context via Acegi Security's FilterToBeanProxy. The NamespaceAccessTokenFilter simply sets a servlet context attribute to contain the NamespaceAccessToken obtained from the EmbeddedDomainBean. None of the above relates to security, but as Spring users it's possibly of interest to know how to integrate Slide into a Spring environment. At a security level, I'm using Acegi Security's (CVS) BASIC authentication filter and HttpSessionIntegrationFilter. The setAdditionalAttributes(List) method is used to specify the logged on Authentication object should also be put into HttpSession attribute "org.apache.slide.webdav.method.principal". This is what is looked at by Slide's WebdavServlet to determine the currently logged on user. I'm still playing around with the optimal approach to the authentication repository. I'll probably have Acegi Security use a DaoAuthenticationProvider that queries Slide's /users and /roles nodes directly from Postgres. There are several ways to go about it, but the "difficult" part is getting Slide to accept the Acegi Security Authentication token (which it happily does in the configuration detailed above).
