Re: The state of WebDAV Clients
Arne v.Irmer wrote: [...] jackrabbit does not want to replace slide. It is focused on the jsr-170 compatible store and not on webdav. (No ACLs, no Events, no Bindings) And this can't change, because their webdav server should run on any jsr-170-container. Their simple or default WebDAV server. That doesn't mean it can't be extended to JSR-170 + additional APIs for addressing additional functionality. Of course that's something that would need to be developed. cheers, Roland - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Alternative webdav client api?
Hello Florian, the retirement announcement for Slide, mentions Jackrabbit as an alternative to slide. I am mostly interested in using the api to access an existing WebDav repository, but it seems Jackrabbit is mostly focused on the server side of webdav, not the client. That is correct. But they do have a WebDAV extension to HttpClient. Besides, Slide was also mostly focused on the server side :-) Is there a natural migration path for my situation? If all you use is the client, there is no immediate hurry. However, the Slide WebDAV client is based on an unsupported backlevel version of HttpClient, besides being unsupported itself. As long as it works, you're fine. As soon as a problem occurs, you're on your own. The Jackrabbit WebDAV client is your best option at Apache. I don't know about any non-Apache WebDAV clients. cheers, Roland - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[ANNOUNCEMENT] Jakarta Slide is retired
The Apache Jakarta PMC is sorry to announce the retirement of the Jakarta Slide subproject. After it's last release in December 2004, development activity was significantly reduced and came to a total standstill this year. Without a minimum developer community that can release security fixes, we have no choice but to retire Slide. We'll keep at least one of the mailing lists open for a transition period, so users can discuss alternatives and migration away from Slide. Further use of the Slide codebase is discouraged. One alternative to Slide is provided by the Apache Jackrabbit project. Jackrabbit has a healthy, active developer community and provides, among others things: - a server-side content repository - a WebDAV server component for access to the repository - a WebDAV client component Please visit http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for more information. We apologize for the inconveniences. Roland Weber (wearing an Apache Jakarta PMC hat) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
