hi all, I've tried to get aquainted with slide over the past 2 weeks, but utterly failed as it seems.
I've read all the documentation (I only found the one at http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/), the global faqs and the slide guide. and as far as this is concerned I think I understood most of this, so how slide authenticates users, manages namespaces and so on. it is difficult to explain, but it seems that I have quite missed the point of slide. so I'm going to ask questions, and hoping for answers which would clarify the use of slide for me. 1) I don't have to implement anything further to use slide except eg if I want to use some other storage systems (eg not db or filesystem) where drivers for are not implemented yet I also don't have to implement any jsp pages or java servlets for the interface because there is no interface, because the webdav client is the interface. but if so, how I'm going to use a database when I eg want to have some atricles (date, teaser, header, text of article) stored without an (eg html) interface? I know that I can configure how data of certain nodes is stored (so file system or db etc), but those two usages are quite different. using a db would need an interface. where is this interface or where do I have to put it (are there examples?) or 2) the only use of slide is to authenticate users, manage namespaces, have an acl to provide rights for different users. probably use versioning or logging. 3) the only thing a end-user really needs is a webdav client. with that, he can look up eg versioning, write and read files. 4) can someone point me to a real example, where slide is used? where I can go through the files and hopefully understand how this all works together and make sense out of it. if there is some explanation about this on the net, I would be grateful if someone can point me there. I also had troubles using the documentation for configuring slide because at some points the documenation simply misses important information (eg where to change things and how the syntax looks like). so probably there is some other documentation somewhere? a big thank you to you all, claus goettfert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
