Jonas,
There is a semantic conflict between DAV and dynamic content handlers if you
use the same Location. DAV would want to fetch the file, the dynamic
content handler would want to pass along the request for service. See
http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/install.html#complex, specifically the PHP
example.
The Location solution resolves that conflict, although, I seem to recall
having to ensure that the module order was correct when I first installed
mod_dav. If you look at the LoadModule/AddModule ordering in your
httpd.conf file, you want to put mod_dav after the connector, which means it
will be checked first.
In your case, you may want to install a separate virtual host, dav.xxxx.tld,
so that you can keep the root.

Hi Noel!
Yes, we use the root for dav and filtering, since unique and clear
identities/url-identifiers are very important to us.
In your conf-snipplet it seems that you bind the tomcat connector by
mime-type and then redefine the the mime-type in the 'dav' location to
avoid being captured by the connector. I cant get this to work in my
configuration. What connector / tomcat / server are you using?
Curious,
Jonas
