I am trying to embed the WebDAV component of slide in a big internal application.
What I am interested is using the WebDAV component as a file system based storage, but using externally determined rights.
So we have:
+--------+ +--------+ +------------------+ | client | <-> | WebDAV | <-> | Permission Logic | +--------+ +--------+ +------------------+
The client is either Windows Web Folders or Office 2000 (or better) from inside a Internet Explorer session.
The WebDAV part comes from the Slide project.
Permission logic is available as a Java interface (JDBC internally wrapped in a special Java API) to a Oracle DB.
What I want is to have permissions on a WebDAV resource generated by the permission logic as well as collections generated based on the permissions.
In other words:
The session ID of the browser should determine the rights for reading and writing files in a directory exported via WebDAV as well as the result of a "dir" action. The logic for the determination is external.
Where from should I start changing the WebDAV component?
Which classes should I extend?
I am sorry to actually ask the most novice questions but the Javadoc documentation is meaningful after you have a somewhat clear view of the overall picture (just like man pages ;-])
I tried to find something similar on the net but without success, so I am asking the user list now.
Best regards:
