Hi,

First, my apologies if this is a very basic question and/or if there are better 
forums in which to post.

We're using the recent default eXist / Cocoon / Jetty implementation, installed 
on a Win 2008R2 server. Everything works very well from WinXP webDAV clients.

Now we're trying Win7 clients, and need to work around a Win7/R2008R2 defect. 
The problem is that Windows Explorer as a WebDAV client expects to connect to a 
root URL. Here's the description: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=831805

So I think I need to change the context of the WebDAV servlet in the Jetty 
configuration. I'm giving myself a crash course on Jetty / Cocoon / eXist, but 
the relationship between components still seems very complex. As I understand 
it, Cocoon, eXist, and WebDAV connectivity are Servlets, and therefore it 
should be possible to change the published URL to root in the Jetty config 
without upsetting everything?  Or do I need to change the WebDAV servlet too? 
Any pointers would be much appreciated (I know the eXist forum on Nabble is 
probably more appropriate, but I have had no replies).

BTW, I know we can use other WebDAV clients to work around this, such as 
BitKinex, but we're trying to win over certain users and so having them use the 
familiar Windows Explorer is important, unfortunately.

Please can someone advise how to publish the eXist webDAV URL at the root level 
- i.e. something other than the default  
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/exist/webdav/db

Thanks!

Pete
