Hi, we are trying to move from a single author environment to a multiple
authors environment. The team doing the configuration is having some
issues.

Here is their question… can you provide some guidance?

What is the proper BaseX configuration to allow multiple users to
concurrently update a database from Oxygen?

Environment:

   - BaseX latest (August build)
   - Windows 7 server and clients
   - basexhttp.bat starting db as admin, admin
   - Users A and B with "write" permissions
   - Users open webdav folder in Oxygen 14 using unique usernames and
   passwords
   - Oxygen is configured to "Lock WebDAV files on open"

Issues

   - Webdav in Oxygen project does not prevent users from changing files
   that are currently open by other users, nor does Oxygen indicates when
   other users have opened or changed files. Users need to close and re-open
   files to see changes made by other others, with no way of preventing other
   users from overwriting their changes.

Questions

   1. According to  http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Startup#BaseX_Server the
   basexserver script should also start the http server, but according to the
   log is does not. Do we need to run both basexserver and basexhttp? Is there
   any difference between starting Server from basexhttp and starting Server
   from basexserver? It appears that basexhttp starts both the http and BaseX
   servers, which is the opposite behavior described by the documentation.
   2. Should file locking work in Oxygen using WebDAV?

Everything works fine with one user working with localhost, as described at
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Integrating_oXygen#Access_Database_Resources, but
we are unable to find a configuration that supports file locking with
multiple users accessing a remote server over webdav. Would an example
configuration be available?
