hi kev
I've configured jackrabbit within my webapp and the webdav support is
excellent.
I have only one problem, I have a filename:
Avenant Groupe de Gestion d'un Grand Compte.txt
Which when I try to copy into my dav web folder (Windows XP client),
fails. I checked the tomcat logs and in the request, the ' wasn't
escaped (although the spaces were correctly escaped/encoded to %20).
actually that's a known issue and has been discussed in
the past.
if i remember correctly the problem is that the single quote
is not a valid character within JCR names.
currently upon a PUT the name is used as is to create
nodes in the jcr repository and no special encoding/decoding
is applied to work around a failure caused by '.
the corresponding jira issue is #JCR-184
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-184
since jsr283 will relax the constraint for jcr names and
specifically allow the single and double quote in jcr names,
that problem will be obsoleted within a reasonable amount
of time (hopefully :).
for the time being:
workaround instructions are present with #JCR-184
kind regards
angela
