Thanks for your tip but I tried this before and it didn't work. In fact, I've found a 
way to correct this (well, at least it seems to be working now) editing the slide.data 
file, uncommenting the <revision> tag...

          <!-- Uncomment and change the password to allow login as root to
           edit the namespace -->
          <!--revision>
            <property name="password" 
             namespace="http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/";>root</property>
          </revision -->

        After this change I've got to logon as root and see the namespace's content.

        But now I've got another question... When I connect using IE it shows me three 
folders in the root - actions, files and users. What are they exactly ? How are they 
created ?

        I plan to use Slide as a framework to create a layer to access the documents 
in an ECM system through WebDAV. It means that all the structure information, as well 
as users, security and even content are going to be taken from this system. So, when a 
user connect to Slide it will show only the folders and documents he or she actually 
can access, just like when the same system is accessed by the web (HTML).

        But, by now, it seems to me there are too much configuration files to make it 
work. If I want a new user I've got to insert it in a Tomcat's conf file. Then I've 
got to edit permissions in the namespace... and I still have restart tomcat... Wow !!
        OK, I think it's possible to configure Tomcat and Slide to use custom classes 
for all of this... but I'm not sure yet how easy it is, or if it'll work the way I 
want (those defaut folders - actions, files, etc - for example) and, more important, 
if it will not be hard to the administrator to keep it running.

        Is there any kind of documentation or a sample application where I could get 
more information of how to do it ?

        By the way, sorry if my questions are too basic... :o)

I would suggest searching the archives of this mailing list:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

That will be a good resource for questions in the future. 

The answer you're looking for now is that Slide wants an Admin user to 
have the role, "root" which is not the same as "manager".  Just add that 
to the users defined in tomcat-users.xml.
