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

I know it is not supposed that slide support the batch methods, since it is
not
approved by WebDAV group yet. 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.
Bita.
