Hello Chad,
many thanks for this example. things start to get clearer.
I deployed the servlet in the server/webapps directory and slide
automatically created an "application" entry in the TC manager. whether or
not I create a new namespace in the server/conf/slide.xml file, accessing
the namespace returns me an empty directory listing. so how can I access
the servlet? the entries in the deployed web.xml file should be correct
because I had forte for java do it.
additionally, trying to access the test1 (or any other) namespace via
webDAV returns the message "server does not support WebDAV at resource
...". I only managed to access and use a webdav client if I deploy the
slide.war file with tomcat. is this usual?
regards,
claus goettfert
