The basic concept here is that your .jsp application translates plain HTTP requests into WebDAV requests to Slide. When the web browser requests a file you execute a getMethod() on a WebdavResource to fetch the file from Slide, then you stream the resulting file to the web browser in the response. For puts it's the same thing. The .jsp receives a form post from a web browser, extracts the file contents from the request, then uses that data to perform a putMethod on the Slide server.
I'd recommend using getMethodData() rather than getMethod() since getMethodData() returns an InputStream. If you use getMethod() you'll need to create a temporary file to hold the data before you stream it to the client. With getMethodData() you can skip that step. -James >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/14/2004 1:41:52 AM >>> hi, thx for your reply fisrt. the architecture you said is what I want, but I wonder how to do that. for example, I want to use the getMethod from WebdavResource class to download file in slide. but if I write the getMethod in jsp page, actually ,the jsp page runs in jsp container(server side), the getMethod process in server slide too!!(is it right?) then the webrower user still cannot download the file, right?? I think I may have misunderstand the machanism of webdav, so could you help me? jingrui >From: "James Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Slide Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: webdav in Jsp?? >Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 08:29:04 -0700 > >What you're wanting to do is very possible.
