Yet trying to extend Cocoon to be a solid designed basis for a virtual WebDAV storage which contains dynamically-generated contents gave me some major headaches.
Issues I came across were things like the requirement of browsability of directories (called collections in WebDAV), adequate ways to allow for generation and filtering of directory "browse-lists" or proper integration into the sitemap without allowing "ooops-its-no-more-WebDAV" misconfigurations; it was then when I started drooling for the sitemap componentization and being able to mount sub-"sitemaps" based on other languages/concepts/etc. >Wow - do you mean WebDAV retrieval AND storage? >I assume versioning would be much harder, though? > Basically, when you have managed to provide WebDAV services via Cocoon in a clean manner, then versioning is not that hard anymore; you'd still have to think about versioning-capable storage backends.
