they are samples for authentication and webdav in "samples" area for uploading they are several threads in this list
Yup. You are right, but I've read most of the "several threads" and looked at examples - as any long-time mailing list user should do :)
They do not resolve the *specific* issues as described, in particular:
- I have as yet been unable to find out how the "webdav" example is exposed to the outside world. Where is the mapping? What is it that allows me to connect "network places" (Windows Explorer) to the "repo" directory, but not to other directories? (Tomcat is quite clear in this respect: stuff gets routed through the webdav servlet that comes with it)
- The stuff that comes with the webdav example states that it allows for *read-only* access, which is obviously insufficient for XML editing; (Tomcat allows for read/write access, I've tested this using MS Word)
- The authentification is done through actions, too. Just like the file upload. Suppose I want part of my site to be protected. Suppose this site consists of many, say 100, subsites. One for each student. There has to be an elegant solution here. Not 100 subsitemaps with dozens of map:act elements to cover every document. That won't do - especially because I'd like students to edit their own sitemap as an exercise :)
