Hello everybody,
I have serious problems with the WebDAV servlet when I try to map it to a
URL-pattern other than "/".
I'd like to map it to /DAV or /webdav or something.
Just to clarify my terminology (which may not be 100% correct):
I want the WebDAV servlet to run in the same context as many other servlets
and I want them to access the same "webspace"-directory (i.e.: I want the
WebDAV-servlet to provice access to my webspace).
I would assume that that is what many users want - what's a "stand alone"
WebDAV-servlet good for??
Anyway: the servlet doesn't seem to consider its url mapping internally (not
at all or not correctly).
As a "quick experimental patch" I tried the following:
MyDavServlet extends WebdavServlet {
protected String getRelativePath(HttpServletRequest request) {
String res = super.getRelativePath(request);
System.err.println("translating path " + res);
if (res.startsWith("/XDAV")) res = res.substring(5);
if (res.length() < 1) return "/";
return res;
}
}
Without this modification, Windows webfolders do not work at all.
With this modification, they work, but not 100% correctly.
Every folder (collection) also seems to contain itself. Funny effect.
==> My "patch" is not the solution, but probably a pointer to
the problem...
I haven't spent more time with it (yet) because I don't use
it yet. I just stumbled across this problem after just 10
minutes of experimenting :-(((
I would soon LIKE TO use it and appreciate any hints that help me solve the
problem before I have to start digging in the source codes...
Holger
P.S.: Some other people seem to have experienced this problem already. I've
seen the problem on the mailing list, but no hint or solution :-(((
P.P.S.: Please reply to my e-mail address as well... this list is so busy
I'd probably miss some answers otherwise... Thanks
