Graham Leggett commented on JCR-4802:
-------------------------------------
This ticket definitely needs moving, put it in the wrong place.
Reverse engineered the code in the server in the oak command line, there are
three servlets exposed, one Oak servlet and the two classic servlets.
I have updated the readme to be clear where these are in the attached patch.
> Document difference between servlets provided by Jackrabbit legacy, and
> Jackrabbit Oak

> Key: JCR-4802
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-4802
> Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> At this time, there is significant confusion over the remoting capabilities
> of Jackrabbit.
> In Jackrabbit legacy, we have two servlets:
> - Simple Webdav Server
> - JCR Webdav Server
> In Jackrabbit Oak, we have what seems to be a different servlet:
> - OakServlet
> The confusion comes about because at first pass, the end user gets the
> impression that the server in oak-run is the Simple Webdav Server and JCR
> Webdav Server from jackrabbit legacy.
> Only after deploying the server and start digging into the source to get an
> explanation of the behaviour of the oak server, we find the OakServlet, which
> appears to contain an undocumented ad-hoc HTTP API, which is in turn hard
> coded to accept Basic Authentication only.

> Ideally the docs for the server part of the oak-run tool needs to be updated
> to clearly indicate that the API bears no relation to past APIs, on this page:
> https://github.com/apache/jackrabbit-oak/blob/trunk/oak-run/README.md
