Hello, I've tried out the WebDAV example context provided with Tomcat 4.0, and it's very practical and straightforward to use. I imagine it's built on top of Jakarta Slide. Nevertheless, I've found both WebDAV and Slide difficult to put into practice, because: - it could create a lot of potential security risks, - I don't understand the mechanism by which webdav URLs map onto real resources on the server (how does it find the context's root directory? how can you replace servlets within WEB-INF? how are operating system file permissions handled when manipulating files on the server? etc...) What I'd like to do is be able to put stuff on-line, do updates, etc. using WebDAV (instead of Samba, shared network folders, etc.) ; the solution in the webdav example context is simple, and it would be nice to integrate it with other contexts if possible. Hopefully someone can answer these questions and show me how to proceed! Thanks, -Chris
