Ok, sorry, I missed the WebDAV thingy. You are right. BUT WebDAV is very limited; see transactions and a standard query API. However, this is another discussion. This is exactly the reason why I won't use Slide for Lenya; I can not use WebDAV because of its limitations and I do not want to rely on the _propriatry_ Slide API. And I can not believe that WebDAV is the right API to let a CMS app base upon (because of the limitations). The way to go IMHO is: Use JCR API for heavy weight requirements (tx, query) and provide also a WebDAV API for low level clients to access the same repo. To be honest again, my personal wish is that Slide and Rabbit folks would work more closely together. I feel the potential of cross-pollination is great. -- Rolf Kulemann --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
