Where To Start
Developers,
I spent all of Friday reading amiling lists but
couldnt find the answer to the following:
How can i customise the front page so i can include
image and background? I read about and know how to
use JSP's but where is the JavaBean to get the listing
of folders available at any one time.
Many Thanks

Request Parameters
Posted by Ragia <ra...@asset.com.eg>.
Hello All,
Working on a custom store, I need to send my own parameters through
the request object. Just need to know how I can send these values to my
custom store implementations. Should it be through NodeRevisionDescriptor or
is it possible to access the request object from inside the store
implementation??
Any ideas???
Thanx in advance :)

I don't mind.
I don't know about the Apache stuff.

See the <store> definition. There is a <parameter
name="rootpath"> and a <parameter name="workpath">.
They are set to store/metadata and work/metadata per default.
Set it to any (full) path you like to control the actual
location. In the default setting they go into the current work
directory.

You can create folders inside the Domain.xml. Use this for your
standard folders which should always be there. See the
<data><objectnode> definition.
Of course you can create directories during run-time using the
WebDAV MKCOL. Slide contains a WebDAV client library. But you
can also use MS Webfolders or whatever WebDAV client you like.

Slide has a lot more features than mod_dav, but it is a bit more
complicated. Depending on your needs mod_dav might be perfectly fine.
The documentation is a bit slim, but mostly when it comes to extending
Slide (implementing custom Stores, things like that).

It would be great if you could do this. The Tomcat bundle download is
pretty straight forward but the webapp download can be a pain to get
running with authentication.

If you look at the <data> section of Domain.xml you'll see where the
default data is located. Three users are created under /users, three
default roles are created under /roles, the basic actions are created
under /actions, some versioning things are setup, an empty /files node
is created and some basic permissions are granted so that the default
users can get things done.

I'm not sure I understand this question. With the default setup using
any webdav client you can log in as root, john or john2 and start
issuing MKCOL commands under /files to create new collections.

Re: Where To Start
Posted by Jack Kada <jo...@yahoo.com>.
Andreas,
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I see what you
mean about the front page and things are looking
better.
If you dont mind - I kind of gave up using Slide in
favour of Apache webDav module with Apache2. Do you
have any thoughts on this. This was really because of
the lack of documentation.
If i am able to get help from this mailing list
regarding setting up slide i would be more then happy
to contribute to Slide by writing a quick start
tutorial so that future developers dont have to have a
hard time using this.
Do you mind telling me where the paths for the files
are kept. In the domain.xml you set up scope to be
"/files" (say) where is that /files actually kept?
Furthermore, how to create several folders for each
project. i know how to use Jass module and i dont
need any help with the Java programming side. Just
setting things up is causing me problems
Many Thanks indeed

Hi Jack,
see

a,v 1.63
2004/08/05 14:43:34 dflorey Exp $ public void init():

It might be you can configure your own DirectoryIndexGenerator
to use in web.xml.
