Seeking java example querying slide
I want to connect to slide using a Java API and find out for a given
folder, the contents within it (other folders and files). I would like
to use slide as an image repository and create some a database record
for each image that is found in the dav server.
I was hoping someone can point me to a good example.
Thanks very much.

The Wiki is pretty helpful.
This document explains how to create a WebdavResource, which represents
a folder or document in your repository:
<http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/CreateWebDavResource>
Once you have this, you can do all kinds of things. Like I said, if all
you wan to do is get the child resources, you can simply call
listWebdavResources() on this object, which internally uses a PROPFIND.
If you need to explicitly invoke a PROPFIND, for example in order to
return non-standard properties or to return resources that are more than
1 level below your folder, you can call one of the propFind() methods on
your WebdavResource.
Alternatively, you can also bypass the WebdavResource entirely and
manually create a PropFindMethod object with the appropriate properties.
In this case, your code will look similar to:
<http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/DASLSearch>
This example is for a DASL search, but the way you invoke your method
would be pretty much the same. Disregard the actual query syntax, of
course.

That solution sounds like the best way to go. Is anyone anywhere of a
example program that does a PROPFIND operation?
Since I am new to this, it would be hard to pull a working program just
using the javadocs.
Thanks.

If all you want to do is enumerate the contents of a folder, a DASL
search seems like overkill. A simple PROPFIND operation should suffice.
If you use the Slide WebDAV client library, the easiest way to do this
seems to be to call WebdavResource.listWebdavResources(), which returns
an array of child resources. You can use isCollection() to distinguish
between folders and documents.

Phillip,
Here is an example DASL query from the Wiki pages:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/DASLSearch
Someone else might know another way.
