Hello Bita, Did you follow the discussion on topic "Interest in standardizing Batch methods?" in the WebDAV discussion list [EMAIL PROTECTED]
A BATCH implementation would be a non standard extension, but helpful. I believe implementing a batch method would be not too difficult (in Side). May I would suggest an architecture? The client would be added a new BATCH method transporting an XML document, which contains the nested WebDAV method in a string format. Possibly the (modified) DTD of the test cases could be a good starting point. The DTD could contain an additional element, specifying if all commands would be executed within a single transaction. The server would be added a new BATCH method, which parsers the XML document, depending on the flag starts a TA and invokes the necessary server WebDAV methods. The request/response data-structures need to be simulated. Based on them the response document would be generated (a nested multi-status document?). Would you be interested in designing the batch method semantics and the implementation in Slide (client/server) Best regards Juergen -----Original Message----- From: Bita Shadgar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 16.31 PM To: Slide Users List Subject: Re: Batch methods Bita Shadgar wrote: > Hi , > > Is there any possibility in Slide to have batch method.

However, I don't think it is out of question, if I want to have something out of standard. Actually, I am asking the Slide developers who know about the codes in details, could you please give me a clue that how can I change or write new program to slide, so that I can have batch methods. Your co-operation is highly appreciated, since I know it takes your valuable time.
