Currently I'm trying to use WCK mapping to a directory underneath my webapp, rather than the root directory. (IE: http://localhost:8080/slide/myDir.) Using the reference file store as the store, it's not working for me. (I did set default-servlet to false)

I agree that threre is a lot of extra baggage that might not be necessary for all (most) applications, but that simply may be the drawback of a general solution. It will fit many applications, so it 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?
