Hi,
first of all my thanks for your quick reply!!

Do you think it's possible (or sensible) to write my own WebDavServlet
where I would include the desired locking behaviour in the GET and PUT
Method?
this is how I would like the GET Method to work:
- if the resource is not locked, lock it with a given timeout for this
user
- if the resource is locked but by the same user, allow GET
- deny access to all other users
this is how the PUT method should work:
- if the resource is locked by the same user: perform PUT and unlock
it
- deny access to all other users.
With these two changes, I can even get WinWord to work in my way,
right?
Greetings,
Carsten.
