Hi Dirk,
Thanks for answering so quickly !
Looking in the source code of the PUTMETHOD, I found everything I needed
to create on the fly a web folder with the file in it. Now I can
generate from my servlet a webdav view as I want.
The structure is maintained outside slide by another java system, and I
just need to link this structure to the slide structure so for now I
don't need to store it in JDBC.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your advice ! I appreciate a lot.
Stephane

If you want to use the FileContentStore to store permanent data set
resetBeforeStarting=false
and use a JDBC store to store the structure.

There are several solutions possible, most of the time you want to do
something like that when
you have created a new user, new dossier or importing from a legacy
system.
I would use a small java program (behind a jsp page if you want) to do
things like that.
Something like:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
HttpClient client=new HttpClient();
client.startSession("localhost",8080,new Credentials("dirk","dirk"));
// client.setDebug(10);
MkcolMethod mc=new MkcolMethod();
mc.setPath("/slide/files/dossier1");
client.executeMethod(mc);
PutMethod pm=new PutMethod();
pm.setPath("/slide/files/dossier1/briefing.doc");
pm.sendData(new File("briefing-template.doc"));
client.endSession();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
Make the dossier name a form parameter and let the jsp page return the
url
for the webdav folder and that's it...
