Problems understanding to use slide (next newbie)

["Wendt, Alexander" <al...@volkswagen.de>]

Hi.

My job (for diploma) here is to find a solution to handle 300 peoples
documents (document-management) with WebDAV.

I've tested mod_dav, catacomb, tomcat(Dav), Tamino, Zope & Slide.

It seems to me, Slide has 95% what I/they need.

My problem is that I can't really use slide the way I want to.

(I tried 1.0.16 and nightly versions (slide/server & slide-webapp), store:
content -> file system; metadata -> MySQL)

1.) Using slide/server I've got ":8082/slide" to manage users, but where are
the groups ?

Can I just send some SQL-Strings to MySQL to add a new group?
Or is there a tool I don't yet have detected (I hope I don't have to use the
command-client, or writing lines in a xml.)?

2.) like 1.) Where do I manage ACL?



If I can't to this with some SQL's, and no administration-tool is available,
how do you think I can handle this? Writing a tool using your libs would not
be the problem, but I think that I've overlook something.


Yours sincerely Alex.


PS: Some sceneries using your program would have helped too.

Hi Alexander,

I did practically the same. I'm not sure whether I can recommend 
Slide. I doubt that it will be released at all in near or less-
near future. I have followed this list for a year now. 
Discussion about this is going on for months. I think there was 
a presentation that announced a planned release date Q3/2002...

For further answers please read between the lines.

No, everything has to go through Slide.

I'm not sure, but I think you must develop it yourself using low-
level Slide API.

You could use the WebDAV client library, or again like 1.
