DeltaV preview

["Nevermann, Dr., Peter" <Pe...@softwareag.com>]

Hi all,

tomorrows nightly will contain a preview of the DeltaV implementation in
Slide which should work with Slide's default stores: MemoryDescriptorsStore
and FileContentStore. It covers 90% of the DeltaV packages: Core-Versioning,
Basic-Server-Workspace and Basic-Client-Workspace. That means that the
advanced features remain to be done.

If you are interested to have a look:

1) download the binary distribution (>= 2002-05-04) from 
   http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-slide/nightly/
2) drop the contained slide.war into the webapps directory 
   of your Tomcat-4.0.x installation
3) start Catalina once to unpack the WAR file
4) in the namespace definition (Domain.xml), enable versioning 
   for the FileContentStore:
   <parameter name="version">true</parameter>
5) Re-start Catalina ... That should be all!

Auto-versioning is pre-configured as "checkout-checkin" in the namepace
configuration (Domain.xml) ... but the other auto-version styles are
supposed to work as well.

Auto-version-control (i.e. PUT of new resource implicitly performs
VERSION-CONTROL) can be switched-on also in the namepace configuration
(Domain.xml).

The paths for history, workspace and working-resource data are
pre-configured as /history, /workspace and /workingresource. You can can
change them in the namepace configuration (but be carefull: the are 2
entries for each to adapt - one in configuration and one in data  :-) )

DeltaV support can be completely switched-off in slide.properties:
org.apache.slide.versioncontrol=false

The Slide client is supposed to support DeltaV to some degree ... but did
not test it myself :-(

Regards,
Peter
