Re: [jira] Created: (JCR-391) WebDAV method invocation trying to create a new resource should fail with 409 (Conflict) if parent resource does not exist

[Angela Schreiber]

hi julian

i tried to comment on the jira issue, but i cannot access it
again. *hm*.

so:

"if i remember correctly the reason for this is, that JSR170
 does not support the 'shallow' copy.
 the conflict would be detected property by the javax.jcr.Workspace#copy
 if the copy was requested as deep copy.
 therefore i left the extra check.

 if you think the conflict has priority over the non-processable
 header, i'd suggest to add the extra check to AbstractWebdavServlet
 where some basic validation for the destination is performed."

regards
angela

This is Litmus test case copy_nodestcoll. An attempt is made to COPY an 
existing resource to a new location, where the parent collection of the 
resource-to-be-created does not exist. RFC2518 asks for status code 409 
(Conflict) instead of 403 (Forbidden) in this case.
