Hi France, The delay for retrieving the file list seems to be oXygen-specific: BaseX itself requires appr. 1 second to create a list of the 50.000 files, but it takes around 180 seconds until the resources are displayed in the oXygen WebDAV explorer. I tried another WebDAV implementation: With the WebDAV plugin of the windows application TotalCommander, the files are listed after 3 seconds.
But back to your original question: My troubles started when I tried to open and close a file with oXygen (version 20): If I open a single resource, a NullPointerException is output by BaseX (on command line). If I close the file and try to reopen it, oXygen returns 500 (“Problem while trying to acquire lock”). Do you experience a similar behavior? Which versions of BaseX and oXygen are you currently working with? Unfortunately, the WebDAV protocol has been causing problems since the very beginning we implemented it. This is on the one hand due to the outdated library we use, on the other hand to the protocol itself (each WebDAV client seems to use it differently). Maybe you could have a look at Axxepta’s Argon Author plugin for oXygen: http://argon-author.com/ Best, Christian On Thu, May 17, 2018 at 10:55 AM, France Baril <france.ba...@architextus.com> wrote: > Perfect, happy we could finally find a way to get this issue replicated!. > > We only have one DB with more than 1000 files, so display speed is not much > of an issue.
