If you want a webdav frontend to connect to your custom database schema, you
cannot override the abstract debdav servlet, it will simply break in
numerous ways. Either implement a custom backend to jackrabbit, or simply
use a different webdav servlet. I'd suggest using the simple webdav servlet
that comes with tomcat, which uses jndi to lookup files and directories, and
which can easily be modified to lookup stuff in your custom schema.

Dear All,
I m customizing jackrabbit to use mysql server with the table
structures as mentioned below ,
DavResourceLocator
---+--+--+-+-+---+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
++--+--+-+-+---+
| RESOURCE_ID| bigint(19) | NO | PRI | NULL| |
| DOC_FOLDER_ID | bigint(19) | NO | | NULL| |
| AUTHOR_USER_ID | varchar(100) | NO | | NULL| |
| RESOURCE_NAME | varchar(255) | NO | | NULL| |
| RESOURCE_TYPE | varchar(60) | NO | | NULL|
DavResourceMapping
++--+-+-+---+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-++--+-+-+---+
| RESOURCE_MAPPING_ID | bigint(19) | NO | PRI | NULL| |
| RESOURCE_ID | bigint(19) | NO | | NULL| |
| AUTHOR_USER_ID | bigint(19) | NO | | NULL| |
| PARENT_RESOURCE_ID | bigint(19) | NO | | NULL| |
+-++--+-+-+---+
The first table will be used to store a node either its nt:file or
nt:folder and the second one the mapping between the nodes like which
nt:file node present in nt:folder node. What i did is I overrode the
AbstractWebdavServlet to fetch data from my db and deliver the same using
the JCR Objects such the MultiStatus and the MultiStatusResponse for
propFind Type of requests.
While doing so initially when I connect to webdav thru cadaver I got the
propfind type as '0' and its PROPFIND_BY_PROPERTY in DavConstants. And for a
subsequent propFind Type I get the propFindType as '0' again followed by a
Error 404 RESOURCE-NAME kinda response. Kindly let me know anything I
miss ...
