Newbie: How to delete a directory?

[Lewis, Eric]

Hi all

I'm new to Slide and thus to this mailing list.
I'm using the WebDAV client and trying to create a directory and save a file
in it. This works (except for character set problems), but when I want to
delete them, I'm having problems.
The file can be deleted without error, but as soon as I try to delete the
directory, I get a HTTP response 301, and the deleteMethod() returns false.

I'm testing with the 'official' WebDAV test server at
http://test.webdav.org/dav/

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  :-)


Here's my source:
/**
 * The root folder for WebDAV
 */
private static final String TEST_WEBDAV_ROOT = "/dav/";

/**
 * A test WebDAV server open for client tests.
 */
private static final String TEST_WEBDAV_HTTP_URL = "http://test.webdav.org";
+ TEST_WEBDAV_ROOT;

/**
 * The directory that's written to the test WebDAV server
 */
private static final String TEST_WEBDAV_DIRECTORY_TO_WRITE =
"mmmyyy_test_directory"; 

/**
 * The file that's written to the test WebDAV server
 */
private static final String TEST_WEBDAV_FILE_TO_WRITE =
"this_is_my_test_file.txt"; 



(Create directory and file)



String newDirectory = TEST_WEBDAV_ROOT + TEST_WEBDAV_DIRECTORY_TO_WRITE;
String newFile = newDirectory + "/" + TEST_WEBDAV_FILE_TO_WRITE;
WebdavResource webDavResource = new WebdavResource(TEST_WEBDAV_HTTP_URL);
boolean fileDeleted = webDavResource.deleteMethod(newFile);
if (! fileDeleted) {
        log.error("Couldn't delete file " + newFile + ": " +
webDavResource.getStatusCode() + ", " + webDavResource.getStatusMessage());
}
boolean directoryDeleted = webDavResource.deleteMethod(newDirectory);
if (! directoryDeleted) {
        log.error("Couldn't delete directory " + newDirectory + ": " +
webDavResource.getStatusCode() + ", " + webDavResource.getStatusMessage());
}
webDavResource.close();
