I'm trying to evaluate whether the server part can act as generic webdav
interface to the jsr repository (Windows/Max OS X desktop integration).
I don't necessarily need the JSR-170 client -> WebDAV -> JSR-170 server
bridge although that would be really neat and we would definitively find
use for that.
I'm about to play with the jackrabbit webdav in the near future and can
contribute my findings back here/JIRA.
you want to look at the SimpleWebdavServlet rather than
JCRWebdavServerServlet.
the former is a generic class 1&2 webdav protocol implementation, while
the latter is something different. it's the server end of "remote jcr
over webdav", an alternative to "remote jcr over rmi". webdav is just
the transport layer. you aren't meant to point a webdav client at the
jcr server, but rather a jcr client.
SimpleWebdavServlet is what you want when you're looking to use an
arbitrary webdav client against a webdav server which uses a jcr
repository as its content store.
this distinction took a while for me to understand. the source code
structure does not make it evident, and there's little or no
documentation to explain it. angela had to beat it into my brain on the
mailing list a few months back :)
