Questions: Data Types, Removing a property...

["Groothuis, Derek" <De...@citadelgroup.com>]

Howdy, 

Fairly new to actually using Slide, and I had a couple of questions: 

1.  I need to remove a property from something (and just setting it to
null/0 is insufficient).  Is there an easy way to do this using Slide?
Ideally I'd love to do it via something like
WebdavResource.proppatchMethod() since that's how we're doing other
things, but if someone could point me to any easy way of doing this, I'd
appreciate it.

2.  In a similar vein, I need to specify the datatype of a property
(i.e., dt:dt="int").  Is there an easy way to do this with Slide?

Thanks for any help you can provide. 

--Derek

hi derek, 

to #1:
have a look at: WebdavResource.proppatchMethod(String path, PropertyName
key, String value, boolean setOrRemove)
the last parameter indicates if the property will be set or removed.
(only available in the nightly-builds)
to #2:
i think you can use an xml-fragment like <value type"Integer">21</value>
and parse this after the propget

Marc
