That's true. I'm using the approach of having some JSP pages in WEB-
INF/include that I include in from my WebdavServlet subclass via
RequestDispatcher. This is working very well so far, albeit I'm not
using the SlideDirContext (and I have no idea how that actually works,
never tested it).
So, the changes I've outlined above are pretty much done, but rather
extensive: I've moved all the HTML generation code into the
WebdavServlet, and needed to make a couple of methods in WebdavMethod
static and/or public (e.g. isCollection()). Everything is completely
backwards compatible though, and I've not had any problems so far
(which is pretty unusual for me - I seem to attract problems ;>).
I'll go through everything and clean up my changes, and commit a patch
later.
On a related note, I've started with a JSP taglib for Slide (because I
needed one). It is based on and uses JSPTL/EA1 (JSR 52,
http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/doc/jsptl-doc/intro.html), which of
course is in a fairly early state, but looks very promising and works
very well IMHO. Would there be interest in incorporating that into the
Slide-CVS at some point (meaning: even though it uses JSPTL) ?
