Jetspeed and Slide?

[David <dr...@neo.rr.com>]

Hi,

Has anyone had any experience integrating Jetspeed and Slide?  I want to implement a small intranet portal that provide saccess to documents.  I assume that I would need to write a custom portlet that acts as a WebDAV client but I wanted to see if anyone on this group has any insight on this topic before I get too far down any one path.

Thanks

We are using Jetspeed and Slide.

The architecture we have is as follows:

Turbine RawScreen for getting access to the documents - pretty crude
and seems to only work well for PDF files.

Portlet for document upload. You enter some general document
title/summary/category details and specify the file to upload.  

This talks to a WebDavService class, which uses the HTTPClient
package (from the DAVExplorer distribution) to talk to a webdav
server - in our case Slide.

That is, we do not use the Slide client API - rather using the more
standard WebDav HTTP api.

Its all pretty crude, but just about workable.

I'd be keen to hear from other experiences of this - or problems
found with implementations similar to ours...

Chris
