AW: Mounting WebDAV in Tomcat 7.0.45
So, many thanks for your comments, > The general recommendation is to use a 3rd party WebDAV client. Check > the archives details (I think it is Chris that uses one). At least I found a product, what we actually use in our company and what I can take also for our project. The WebDAV Client is based on AJAX and JQuery and it should be possible to integrate this in our web application. Because the actual project didn't use AJAX and JQuery can you give me a short hint, what are the requirements to use it and where are the pitfalls, when I use it. Thanks Arno

Both works with Tomcat and HTTPd's mod_dav. Everything else is a rollercoaster ride.

Mounting WebDAV in Tomcat 7.0.45
Hi all, I have activate WebDAV in our web application, as it is in tomcat. A filter control the access to exactly one folder inside the web application. This application is used only internal in the intra-net and so it run just over HTTP without any user permission. Open and save Office documents on this WebDAV URI work fine. What I have to do, that I can mount this one directory to the normal explorer. If I do it, like you see in the Attachment, I get the message, that Windows has no access. Do I have something to configure in the server, that directories can be mounted or does the standard WebDAV servlet do not have this feature?
