I agree with Deng.
I thought WebDAV was a reasonable choice for the central web
interface since it forced it to be resource-based and gave a bit of
extra functionality. I know that we still had it a little tangled up
though.
I've no objection to abstracting it a layer away, but if it's at all
hard to add Jackrabbit on top of what remains (plugin? :) then I'd
think something has gone horribly wrong. We've (ok, you've!) already
done most of the hard work of figuring out some of the client and
locking issues - if we don't have a direct need for that then we can
document that it is only partially supported and let people that
want to fix that do so themselves, right?
Its not difficult to add webdav functionality back in. At this point
I'd probably not recommend going the jackrabbit way again - the
net.sf.webdav-servlet dudes have done a really excellent job on
implementing a new servlet that is not quite so tied up in the
jackrabbit way of doing things.
Cheers
