Re: Exception while setting property ..

[Angela Schreiber]

hi

why would you want to set the DAV:resourceType
property?

RFC 4918 states in section 15.9 resourcetype Property:

"
   Purpose:   Specifies the nature of the resource.
   Protected: SHOULD be protected. Resource type is generally
              decided through the operation creating the resource (MKCOL
              vs PUT), not by PROPPATCH.
"

and in fact the DAV:resourceType property is protected
in jackrabbit.

apart from that (just as a general information): PROPPATCH
on any resource will only succees if the underlying JCR nodes
allows to add/modify/remove the property or properties specified.
the set of allowed properties is defined by the node type
definition... which in turn depends on the IOHandlers you
using.

  Dear All,

    I use the following code to set the property for a Node,

DavResourceLocator resourceLocator = locator.getFactory().createResourceLocator(locator.getPrefix(), locator.getWorkspacePath(), resourceURL, false); DavResource childRes = factory.createResource(resourceLocator, session); System.out.println("Resouce Type in getDOcsMemebers >>> "+resourceType);

                        if(resourceType.equals("folder")) {

childRes.setProperty(new ResourceType(ResourceType.COLLECTION));

                        }
                        childNodes.add(childRes);

I get the following exception while setting the property. I m using jackrabbit-webdav-1.4.jar and its dependencies. The test is performed in Linux Cadaver client.
