Have a look at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/architecture.html
The slide engine (share,stores directories) is running on the server. To do client-server communication you can use the webdav protocol. The server part is located in webdav/server and the client part in webdav/client. An example of a client is in jakarta-slide\src\webdav\client\src\org\apache\webdav\cmd or in the contrib directories. If you are thinking of creating a webapp, you can start with the slide taglibs. Now for your question: I suppose you are creating a swing application. If you want a list of users then give read access to the /users folder to everybody and then you can get a list of users using the propfind method. Try removing this permission on the /users uri: <permission action="/actions" subject="/users/guest" inheritable="true" negative="true"/> Dirk Donald Denbo wrote: > > I'm creating a WebDAV client to allow users to manage the ACL's of their > own files.
