Since in my project I need to put or delete a bunch of files, I prefer to have a batch method rather than many usual methods which take a lot time of system just to transfer data over the internet. Indeed, Thanks for your points and as I understand I need to add a class like Batch.java in the client part ( webdav/client/org/apache/slide/webdav/method/) to create an xml request and also a class in server side (/webdav/server/org/apache/slide/webdav/method/ ) to parse and execute method, am I right? However, at present I have no idea about which format should be preferred for an xml batch request and response as well.
