Thanks Oliver. Yeah, I understand what you are saying about duplicating
code. But, what about just overriding the classes in package
org.apache.slide.webdav.method? It seems like that's the code that
glues the webdav interface to the Slide CMS, so it would be a good point
to connect to my CMS rather than the slide's CMS.

is not specially geared towards yours.
Before I contributed to WCK I was considering a much more lean and
slim solution, but I that would have meant lots of double work.
Additionally, by making it as generic as the Slide WCK solution it
would almost have ended up in a similar complexity.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks Edmund. I have been using WCK but still have that feeling of so
much extra baggage, not to mention extra config files. Yes, I want to
write a class that implements an interface like the interface you
implement with WCK.
As for lock management, I can't use Slide's lock manager because there
are multiple interfaces to my application, so files might be
locked/unlocked from outside the webdav arena. (Like you might lock a
file via a SOAP call, and then that has to be reflected to a user
accessing the file over WEBDAV)

For webdav-enabling an existing java application, I'm just wondering
what the alternatives are to Slide, . Since Slide is a content
management system with a webdav service built on top of it, it functions
well as a CMS but it's overkill when you want to Webdav-enable an
existing system. It does all sorts of user-management and
lock-management stuff that I don't want.
I feel like I just want something that converts the HTTP requests into
calls to java functions. (And also does the XML serialize/deserialize
for stuff like PROPFIND.)
Comments?

I don't really know of any free alternatives to Slide, but integration
should not be too hard with the WebDAV Construction Kit (WCK). After
all, that's what it is for. You can find WCK is in the Slide CVS. There
has been no release yet AFAIK.
I think you can disable (most of) the user management stuff and simply
configure tomcat to do no authentication. And the lock management -
well, that kind of comes for free - no administrative overhead, so why
get rid of it?
