OK, my previous post was apparently too ignorant to warrant a reply (:
I gather that slide doesn't require TOMCAT to run although presumably
slide can only be accessed locally without TOMCAT???
I can't really understand what the slide servlet does.
Are the error message that I am seeing in the localhost log file (see below)
normal?
I'd be extremely grateful for any advice

Subject: Slide examples
Hi,
I recently installed jakarta-slide-1.0.11 (binary distribution) onto an NT
machine.
I can access the WebDav server as a Web Folder. I can access slidedoc and
the Tomcat Manager application.
However, I don't think that slide is working properly. The examples appear
to run OK in that
the output seems correct. However, the examples run the same whether or not
the CATALINA/TOMCAT is running.
Using Web Folders and IE5.5, I can find no evidence that any content has
been added.
Using NetStat, I cannot see any evidence of a connection on ports 8080,8081
or 8082.
The other thing that worries me about the slide service is the errors in the
log file, localhost.log
SlideHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path /slide from
URL http://slideslide
SlideHost[localhost]: Installing web application at context path / from URL
http://slideslide
...
ContextConfig[/slide]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only
...
Internal Error: File /WEB-INF/web.xml not found
...
ContextConfig[]: Missing application web.xml, using defaults only
...
Internal Error: File /WEB-INF/web.xml not found
Slide.war is in %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps. I don't understand why the slide
service is
not installed from URL
jar:file:D:\jakarta-slide-1.0.11\server\webapps\slide.war!/
and why web.xml cannot be found.
I tried unloading slide and reloading using the above URL using the TOMCAT
Manager service. This
got rid of the error messages in localhost.log but I could notice no
difference in behaviour.
The other applications in webapps (slidedoc & manager) install without
error.
I'd be grateful for any advice
