Full-featured slide client

[Sven Steiniger <ss...@inf.tu-dresden.de>]

Hi!

I just discovered Slide and it looks very promising. I would like to use
it as the persistence-layer of an CMS, including versioning.As far as I understood, the Java-API is fully server-centric. Due to
synchronistation-issues even mapping all stores to databases would not
allow multiple clients to work concurrently. Thus WebDAV should be used to
access the server.But here the problems emerge:
- WebDAV defines the protocoll for accessing the resources on the server
and client-authentification is done using HTTP. But managing users
(creating, modifying, deleting) is not covered. The Slide-client defines
at least the possibility to modify ACLs.It seems that users and ACLs are stored like documents in the datastores
of Slide. Thus, is there any definition how to manage users remotely?
(editing the configuration file and restarting the server is awful)
- DeltaV is the versioning-extension of WebDAV. And versioning is
supported by Slide. But the Slide-client doesn't seem to support this. Is
there anything I missed?
Thus is there any existing work/work in progress for remotely accessing
all features of Slide?
Sven.

Happened to know the machanism like that in any well-arranged systems?
Basically, that's very basic base for security of the system.
I think that's why the various stadards dosen't support...

It would be rarely supported on even cryptographical communications.
Perhaps, expedient or proprietary ways are responsible for the systems.
So I think probably the easier local management could be possible or
recommended.

So, I think, the titled "Full-featured" would be somewhat wrong...
Any opinions?

Sven,

Not sure what you meant by "not allow multiple clients to work concurrently"
as Slide does allow concurrent clients.  Slide treats users just as other
stored objects and all users are stored under /users/...  I suppose you can
add/delete/modify users as you do with normal objects.
