In Zope, the default way of editing servlets is through the web, and Netscape's textarea makes a lousy editor. To use an ordinary editor, you either have to ftp the files out for editing and then ftp them in again, or use WebDAV. Emacs supported transparent loading/saving via ftp, but for other editors you had to do the ftp'ing manually (while wishing that wget had a "put" mode). WebDAV wasn't available either as a standalone utility or integrated into the editors. In Webware, the default way of editing servlets is with a text editor, so the problem does not apply. I am not a fan of through-the-web editing of servlets anyway, but I suppose some people might find it useful. My question is more of a curiosity nature: why would WebDAV be useful with Webware? What kinds of things would you want to edit? I could perhaps see it being used to edit large data fields of some persistent object; e.g., article text. Would it lend itself to that? -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
