the question about checkout and lock
All,
Who could give me a clear explain the checkout and lock in Slide?
I don't use lockMethod currently, but I use checkoutMethod/checkinMethod to implement the versioncontrol.
I find that if user1 checkout one file, another user can do uncheckout or checkin on this file. I wonder why not the lock is added to one file after it is checked out in order that other user can't operate on it?
Regards
Yong

Jacob,
I have not found that any of these options actually LOCK the file
automatically when checked out. They do dictate what happens IF a file
is locked or after the file is unlocked. Maybe I have misunderstood the
auto-version section numerous times.
I believe Yong was looking for a "lock this file automatically when it
is checked out" option.

Re: the question about checkout and lock

Yong,
I did some experimenting with this a while ago to get na understanding
of how checkout/checkin and locking works. Checkout/checkin work
independently of locks to some degree. Meaning you can checkout without
locking so any user with access to the resource could modify it or
perform checkin/uncheckout operations.
If you decide to put a lock on a checkedout file, then there are various
parts of the spec that dictate that when the lock is removed it is
AUTOMATICALLY checked in. This is for interoperability with "dumb"
webdav clients.
I believe I tested the scenario when I could checkout a file,
lock/unlock it as many times as I wanted, then checkin when I wanted.
The specification does not enforce locking upon checkout. The use is up
to the end-user application.
