WebdavServlet Locking Issues
Hello, I've been testing the WebdavServlet that comes packaged with Tomcat 5.0.18 and am impressed by its simplicity (and by its possibility for extensibility using DirContext). I've run into some problems, however, with getting its locking functionality to work with client apps. I've tried several webdav clients including Dreamweaver MX, and none of them seem to like the way that the WebdavServlet implements locking. In particular, once the client obtains a lock (which occurs successfully), it is not possible for the client to perform any other operations on that resource -- not even unlocking the resource is possible. Any attempts at accessing the resource, and the client is sent an SC_LOCKED status by the WebdavServlet. I read a few archived posts from the 2001/2002 timeframe that reference some locking issues, but I'd be suprised that 2 years later no one has gotten locking to work with apps like Dreamweaver? Any suggestions or workarounds are welcome! Thanks, Ryan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any suggestions or workarounds are welcome! The WebDAV servlet has only recently become maintained again. There are some related patches in Tomcat 5.0.19, although I don't know if this would fix your problems. -- x Rémy Maucherat Developer Consultant JBoss Group (Europe) SàRL x - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
