revise webdav module in light of new repository API
---------------------------------------------------
Key: MRM-1381
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRM-1381
Project: Archiva
Issue Type: Task
Components: WebDAV Interface
Affects Versions: 1.4
Reporter: Brett Porter
currently a lot of resolution logic and other bits and pieces occurs directly
in the webdav layer.
With the new repository API in place, and after the proxy and repository
grouping behaviour (linked) is migrated, the webdav should become significantly
simpler.
The module should be revised for any further changes needed after that to
remove the dependency on repository-layer and model. It should be a simpler
interface that just provides the webdav and HTTP verbs for accessing the
repository content via the resolver. All the logic belongs in the repository
implementation so that it can be shared by other modules such as web and
xmlrpc. This wouldn't constitute a full REST API either - that will probably
more closely mirror the xmlrpc api and work with the metadata repository API as
well, not just retrieving the artifacts.
This may also cause some consideration to the location of the tests - these are
effectively integration tests that could be streamlined and moved into a
separate module.
