Way cool, Guido !
But the bad thing about WebDAV on Windoze (aka "webfolders") is that it's not a real filesystem : you cannot open the file directly from there, but only copy/paste it on a "real" filesystem. Or did I missed something ?
no, you are right, webforlders suuuuuuuuuuuuck! and they are as buggy as hell, expecially if you do webdav over https with digital certificates. forget it, you have to use a commercial application (don't remember its name).
Could it be Xythos WebFile Client?
Quick update about the CVSSource : I did a major rewrite for one of our projects (Gianugo : it's a CMS using dynamically-generated sxw files to edit content!), and it's now an Excalibur Source and supports crawling the version history (only on the main branch), tagging, cache validity, etc. I committed this new version this morning on cocoondev.org.
OK, you made me drool. I'm updating it right away. :-) Since during this weekend I rewrote the repository part of Linotype for that, I want to see if it works on CVS too. And the next step is trying Guido's davmap example... it would be *extremely* cool!
sure, but will be up to you do decide how to write your webdavapp. that's the point: cocoon should provide you the low level components and you compose them as you like.
And please, think about not necessarily using flow. :-)
But just as the aggregator is just a special generator, I was thinking of introducing the concept of an extractor which is just a generator but that expects serious payloads that contain inforamation that might be needed by the sitemap/flow to process the request (NOTE: both the sitemap and flow DO NOT have access to the pipeline content directly, and this should *NOT* change! this is the reason why we should introduce this 'extraction' concept)
I'm starting to see some light. Care to come up with an example?
In other words, streamed requests aren't so much different from regular requests : it's just that incoming data is more complex and that decoding is not handled transparently by the servlet engine. Once decoded, the processing model can be the same as usual.
Hmmm, hmmmm, hmmmm, you are triggering second order thinking.... hmmmm... I need a whiteboard... I'll be back soon.
Can't wait. :-)
