Hello everyone,
I find myself in the need for a serious WebDAV/DeltaV/DASL content repository and after having searched land and sea and having tried all possible combinations out there [pure mod_dav, catacomb and subversion], I decided to use invest my effort in Slide, also because of the familiarity with the java language compared to mod_dav which isn't really friendly for me]
I've looked into the tree for a few days now and I found several things that puzzle me.
[note, I'm running slide as of CVS checkout of yesterday morning, on Jetty 4.2.14rc1, on MacOS X 10.3.1 with JVM 1.4.2_01]
First of all, I think that "org.apache.slide.util.Configurations" should *not* be abstract... because it's used directly (via static methods) from the WebDAVServlet. This caused the "litmus" tests (see http://www.webdav.org/neon/litmus/) to fail and DeltaV clients to go nuts since the system was triggering 500 errors while trying to access the configuration classes.
After patching this, Slide passes all the litmus tests but one:
16. prophighunicode....... FAIL (PROPPATCH of property with high unicode value)
17. propget............... FAIL (No value given for property {http://webdav.org/neon/litmus/}high-unicode)
il motivo e' il seguente: org.jdom.IllegalDataException: The data "?" is not legal for a JDOM character content: 0xd800 is not a legal XML character.
Here is the HTTP request
PROPPATCH /files/litmus/prop2 HTTP/1.1 Host: 127.0.0.1:10000 User-Agent: litmus/0.9.4 neon/0.24.2 Connection: TE TE: trailers Content-Length: 185 X-Litmus: props: 16 (prophighunicode)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<propertyupdate xmlns='DAV:'>
<set>
<prop>
<high-unicode xmlns='http://webdav.org/neon/litmus/'>𐀀</high-unicode>
</prop>
</set>
</propertyupdate>
[Note that I reformatted the output, so the content-length is broken]
Now: whose problem is this Slide's or JDOM's?
- o -
Now a few random questions:
1) what's the status of the tree? I found out that contributed WebDAVGUI is out of synch with the various libraries and it seems dead. I also find the distribution waaaaay too tomcat centric.
2) I saw the archives and I heard about the 2.0 release proposal, what's the status of that?
3) also, what's the status of the variuos stores? are they usable?
4) now a more detailed question: does the DASL implementation provided with Slide scale? are the content metadata stored in the DB or are stored along with the files?
[I'm going to investigate #4 myself, but I would like to hear your opinion]
Thanks for any help that you might give me.
ah, and prepare for a load of patches ;-) [there are tons of import statements to cleanup, javadocs warnings and unused variables... note: I don't have CVS access on the slide CVS module, otherwise I would commit them myself]
