Thanks Martin! The problem was with the web.xml... I created a tomcat project using eclipse and as specified in the "Getting-Started With Eclipse" Slide Document, I copied the web.xml from Slide Projects src directory to the web-inf directory of the new Tomcat Project created by Eclipse. However the Web-Inf folder under Tomcat installation had its own generated web.xml file (which I did not suspect since it had the correct servlet mapping).
If possible, someone from the Slide team should update the "Copy the Domain.xml and web.xml files from the Slide source folder" section of the doc http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/getting-started.html. Instead of "new project's WEB-INF folder" it should be Tomcat installation's WEB-INF folder. Thanks again, Ritu p.s. I truly appreciate the quick replies.... Feel very positive about pursuing to use Slide as our base framework. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Holz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 30, 2004 2:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Connecting to Slide using DAV Explorer Ritu Kedia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hello Martin, > > I am using the JBoss_Tomcat combo (JBoss 3.2.1 and Tomcat 4.1) > > I placed the slide war directory in the <JBoss_Home>/server/default/deploy. > It deploys fine.

Slide will not do any authentication on its own. The servlet container will do the authentication and some coarse grained authorization. Slide will ask the the container for the username and do fine grained access controll. > Also it appears that Slide does not yet support versioning.

But IIRC auto-version-control is disabled by default. Have a look at the end of Domain.xml. Probably you must put the resource under version control first.
