Re: slide alternatives

[Bill Keese <bi...@tech.beacon-it.co.jp>]

By the way,  if there are issues with WCK, how should I report them?  
Mailing list?  Bug database?

Currently I'm trying to use WCK mapping to a directory underneath my 
webapp, rather than the root directory.  (IE: 
http://localhost:8080/slide/myDir.)  Using the reference file store as 
the store, it's not working for me.  (I did set default-servlet to false)
