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 ?
I don't know, must have a look at it.
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' ?
Yes, that should work.

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.
Hope this helps,
Stefan

Hi Guys
Is there anywhere that describes the differences between LinkNodes and
Bindings and also provides an overview on when each of these techniques
should be used ?
