Hi!
Slide may not be your best choice, it depends. Slide is mainly a content repository, ie slide stores and loads the content, and takes care of versioning and searching etc... From the sounds of things, however, it sounds like you already have the repository, and only want to provide webdav access to the existing repository. In this case using slide might be trcky, since presumably you would have to write a store class to interface with your existing repository. You'd pretty soon run into issues with users and permissions, since slide expects to store these. It might be easier to use a more simple webdav server, such as the one bundled with Tomcat. I don't know if this webdav server expects to read/ write directly from the file system, but assuming it operates on the Tomcat Resource level, all you would have to do is implement a JNDI DirContext to provide read/write access to your existing repository, and you'd have a solution...
