I have been meaning to add WebDAV support to Jetty for some time now.
I have heard that the tomcat servlet is tomcat specific, but it should not be too difficult to fix that (one hopes)
My limited understanding of WebDAV is that the protocol is pretty tivial - but supporting good configuration control is somewhat harder on the server storage side of things.
anyway - who ever volunteers to help with WebDAV will get plenty of support from me to get this workng.
If nobody volunteers - then with enough nagging I will implement WebDAV one way or another.
cheers

- A HTTP server needs to be deployed: I will re-use the HttpServer of Jetty and implement a HttpHandler in charge of handling the WebDAV protocol additional methods. AFAIK, one does not need to support all the WebDAV methods, however it will be rather easy to implement such an handler.
- The actual WebDAV server will be jakarta-Slide. More accurately, I will perform minor updates in order to mount Slide as a base service and not as a web-app. Regarding this point, if anyone prefers another WebDAV implementation, I am ready to change my mind.
Any concern?
IIRC Tomcat comes with a servlet that does webdav much simpler than slide. It maybe possible to deploy that in Jetty, or to create a similar servlet built into Jetty (volunteers welcome :-)
I have concerns with Slide, primarily as the last release was Nov 2001, how active is the project and how stable is it?
