Regarding your plans to integrate slide with Bluestone.  Be warned that the
current Bluestone UBS version 7.3 will not work with Slide.  There are 2
reasons that come to mind.  First the Bluestone servletInvokerApp does not
set the servlet context correctly and according to Bluestone support, it
cannot be modified to accommodate the necessary change.  They consider it a
WAD (works as designed). Secondly and just as important, the Bluestone
servlet container filters out HTTP method request that aren't part of the
HTTP spec.  I cannot remember what the specification version they conform to
but they will reject PROPPUT, PROPPATCH and so on.  Therefore any attempt
you make to integrate Slide with Bluestone will be in unsuccessful.

The solution...the next generation of Bluestone technology will allow you to
plug in Tomcat among other engines.  I'm told that next generation
technology will be out later this summer.  So I'd suggest you invest your
time developing on Tomcat and then simply plug your custom Slide
implementation into Bluestone when they catch up.
