Thanks Stefan that helps a lot. We are not looking to use a WebDav client so we are free to choose whichever mechanism makes our life simpler.
If I use LinkNodes rather than Bindings are these 'dangling' links removed if you perform the delete via the org.apache.slide.macro.Macro class ? Can LinkNodes also be accessed via a URI ? For example if I link a node '/guys/fred' as 'ford' below '/mechanics/byBrand' can it be accessed via '/mechanics/byBrand/ford' ? regards Andy -----Original Message----- From: Stefan L�tzkendorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 October 2004 13:49 To: Slide Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Difference between Links & Bindings ? Some differents are - With bindings for each resource is an unique uri is created (some thing like /19832093810928301) and this resource is than bound in to arbitrary collections as a member. e.g. the resource with the given uuri may be the member fred in the collection /guys and thats why have one url /guys/fred. but the same resource can have the name ford in the collection /mechanics/byBrand and so have a second uri /mechanics/byBrand/ford. if you remove any of these urls not the resource is deleted, but only the binding. If the last binding is deleted than the resource is deleted to. - With LinkNodes you have a 'primary' resource to which other nodes are linked. May be you have a resource (node) with url /guys/fred and you create a lnk node /mechanics/byBrand/ford. Than you have two nodes of differend kind, if you delete the primary resource, the links are dangling and must be deleted. - Bindings can be created by clients via webdav Methods BIND, UNBIND, REBIND but LinkNodes can not be created by the client.
