Hi There! Its getting really urgent for me to get the code back out somehow... you're the second person to ask about it...
Here are the problems: * The changes are large, not just in one file, so I would have to send you my entire slide directory (23MB!) or generate a patch from CVS. * I currently cannot access the slide CVS from my work due to disagreements with my sysadmin about the firewall. So I cannot make a patch, and cannot even bring my slide up to date!! Here's what I will do: I will take the code home with me tonight, get it ready for committing, and generate the patch for you guys... After I update my slide from CVS I will have to merge in the conflicting changes. If this does not take me too long, you should receive the patch tonight for testing. Richie Technical notes for Joel: The new stuff does have a db schema. Only one new table is needed, something like: create table roles(uri varchar2,rolename varchar2); The J2EEDescriptorsStore would need to be modified to store the roles of MutableSlideSubjects into this table. See the slidestore.reference.JDBCDescriptorsStore for an example of how this is done, it is very simple. Other than that, the only changes you need to make are in your Domain.xml file. I will include an example. The new system still stores the users in the slide store by default. Depending on your needs you may want to create a subclass of SlideRealm which stores the users elsewhere (LDAP? Active Directory? PAM?). You'll hear from me later tonight...
