hi yannick,
the short answer: i had the same problem about a week ago and fixed it!
the long answer: as you probably know commons-vfs uses jakarta slide for
its webdav support. however, jakarta slide unfortunately retired at the
of 2007. that's why jason harrop startet webdavclient4j [1] a few weeks
ago. it is a new project that basically ports and improves the slide
sources, for example you can use a newer version of httpclient than
2.0.2. but most important it integrates nicely with commons-vfs and
vfsjfilechooser. i use both in my current project.
now, why am i telling you this???
because i experienced the same problem a few weeks ago. the reason is
that the webdav provider (of jakarta slide / webdavclient4j) does not
respect the credentials set via StaticUserAuthenticator and
DefaultFileSystemConfigBuilder. so i checked out the code of
webdavclient4j and fixed it along with the implementation of an
additional provider: webdavs (webdav over https). afterwards i posted
the patch to the website's forum [3] and sent it per mail to jason
harrop. so far he obviously hadn't had the time to apply the patch and
release a new version of webdavclient4j. that's why you have to checkout
webdavclient4j, patch it with the stuff i wrote, build it yourself and
then use it with commons-vfs. of course you could do the same with
jakarta slide but i wouldn't recommend that since it's a dead project.
besides that i could send you my build of webdavclient4j but i'm not
sure if that is what jason harrop wants. so i can't do this unless he
tells me to do so.
hope that helps.
cheers,
stephan
ps: @jason: if you want you could grant me developer rights for your
projects. then i could do the necessary stuff myself and help yannick.

Hi,
I'm using commons VFS and I get a problem.
To access to virtual file system, I'm using this authentification :
this.auth = new StaticUserAuthenticator(credentials.getDomain(),
credentials.getUsername(), credentials.getPassword());
This code works whith smb protocol (share windows), but doesn't work with
webdav :
For it I must write the url -> webdav://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/directory.
And this code works...
But I want to use the same authentification that I'm using for smb.
Do you know why it doesn't work ?
I think my problem is on the realm definition.
My error trace :
ATTENTION: No credentials available for the 'WORKGROUP' authentication realm
