the WebdavServlet overrides the HttpServlet.service() method, which by default dispatches to the doXXX() methods. However, it is implemented in such a way that doGet() and doPost() are only called on collections. All other requests are dispatched to implementations of the WebdavMethod interface. The instance/implementation of WebdavMethod to dispatch to is determined by a pluggable WebdavMethodFactory.
So to change the behaviour of Slide's WebdavServlet you should supply your own WebdavMethodFactory implementation (IIRC, there's a init-param for that), probably derived from the DefaultWebdavMethodFactory, AND provide one or more customized WebdavMethod implementations, probably derived from the respective default implementation of the method in Slide.
This should become clear when you have a look at the WebdavServlet source directly.

Hi,
just a short question. The readme.txt to the SimpleWebdavServlet example states that one "can only change doGet and doPost, not the other WebDAV specific methods" since "operations on files always go to the original WebdavServlet". Is this meant only for this SimpleWebdavServlet example, or is it generally "not possible" to change the webdav behaviour of Slide?
