In Slide an ObjectNode exists for each User, Role, Action. These ObjectNodes are part
of the Namespace.
The entries below configure ObjectNodes according to paths (uri) and what class
implementation to utilize.
+This <data> section is loaded when Slide first starts and provides a way to
initialize Stores. After Slide
+has started all sections of the repository can be manipulated through WebDAV or
directly through the server

==== Users ====
-From my understanding, Slide stores all user authentication and permissions in this
section of the domain.xml file.
-Personally I think it would be a lot more practical to store this data outside of
this file, either in a separate file or ideally using a database or ldap. In a
production environment where you have thousands of users and thousands of changes to
manage, this would become very hard to manage.
+Slide populates the initial users from this section of the domain.xml file. See
[http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/howto-create-users.html Creating Users]
+for instructions to add users at runtime. See
