Thierry, et al, I have been working with the "Directory" class, and running into limitations. I realized that because I am also running Tomcat, the built-in webdav met my needs. However--and because you were asking for suggestions--I realized that the Directory class could easily be improved:
1) Allow for stylesheets, see Tomcat's WebdavServlet setup (localXsltFile, and globalXsltFile). Note that a URI (instead of a path) would be even better. 2) Have the default representation return XHTML (instead of the current non X HTML). This would allow a programmatic caller to read the list as XML (a request from one of my users). 3) Add a simple authorization hook, or at least clearly describe how to authorize access to certain directories. Note that even in Tomcat, I had to go digging through the code to figure out how to subclass. 4) Add full webdav capability. Given that WebdavServlet is Apache License--and not very big--it seems that you could easily support full webdav out of the box. Cliff Binstock Coyote Reporting
