Hello!
I'm implementing a wrapper for the slide webdav client api, to better
suit an image database which talks webdav.
The idea is that the client should seamlessly talk to the server as if
the images in the database was on the client computer (or client
webserver in this case), and thus be able to create a servlet/JSP
homepage which displays images from the database.
My first servlet is called IBServlet. It instantiates a WebdavResource
to the root folder of the image database with a password and username
for the webdav connection.
When IBServlet generates a homepage, i add image urls like this:
<img src="IBShowIm?image=/path/to/picture.jpg"/>
IBShowIm is another servlet, that opens a connection to the webdav
server by creating an IBFile(HttpURL(imagepath)) object (an extension to
WebdavResource which is more suited to my purposes) and then streams
picture.jpg to response.getOutputStream(). This works very well when
using HttpURLs that don't need authentication.
My question now is, how do I make IBImShow know about the
credentials(username and password, or perhaps the session information)
that were given to IBServlet?
I figure that there are options like Sessions. I took a look at
WebdavSession, but couldn't really figure out how to use it.
WebdavSession.getSessionInstance() can return an HttpClient object, but
i don't know how to use that later on.. does the HttpClient object know
about the credentials I have entered earlier?
Are there other ways? Do you have any other suggestions?
Kind regards,
Erik Ahlner
