RE: Slide Admin question (and JSP webdav client)

[James Higginbotham <jh...@betweenmarkets.com>]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. I am writing to the webdav client api,
and hoped that the admin client would do that as well.. I guess I need
to continue to use that and simply invoke Slide over HTTP using loopback
(127.0.01), replacing the struts actions with these calls instead. I'll
lose tx context, but maybe Mark Menzies company will decide to release
their Slide tx support within Jboss to the world ;)

Anyone know of an existing JSP/Struts or just JSP implementation of a
webdav client? I have a number of operating systems that must connect,
create, and edit content.. 

Also, are there any plans to support JSR147 to talk to slide in VM (vs.
straight webdav)? Also, anyone know where JSR 147 stands at the moment?
Anyone from Slide on this committee?

Thanks,
James

Is it possible to create new users with the webdav API? 
I don't think so, since a node for a user must
implement UserRole and this kind of node is not created
by the WebDAVServlet.
