WebDAV BIND support
-------------------

                 Key: JCR-1733
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1733
             Project: Jackrabbit
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: jackrabbit-webdav
            Reporter: Julian Reschke
            Assignee: Julian Reschke
            Priority: Minor


I'm tempted to work on implementing the WebDAV BIND protocol, as currently 
defined in http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-ietf-webdav-bind-20.html.

This issue can be used to collect design proposals and track progress.

1) DAV:resource-id live property

This can be implemented in terms of the JCR UUID. However, we need to turn this 
one into a URI for WebDAV. If the JCR UUID happens to *really* use UUID syntax, 
we *could* use urn:uuid. Otherwise, it would probably useful to mint an HTTP 
URI, served by the WebDAV servlet. (note that the latter has the disadvantage 
that moving a node to a different server will affect its resource-id, in case 
that other server allows importing UUIDs).

2) REBIND and UNBIND methods

Same as MOVE and DELETE, with the excpetion of marshalling.

3) DAV:parent-set property

Either trivial (when node isn't shared), or needs to use the JCR 2.0 shared set 
functionality.

4) BIND method

Either trivial (when shareable nodes aren't supported), or needs to use the JCR 
2.0 shared set functionality.

5) Cycle detection in depth:infinity requests

TBD :-)
