Thanks for the pointer. How would you go about mapping this in JackRabbit? Is this WebDAV extension supported by the bulk of WebDAV clients (or does it come for free as a function of HTTP? Sorry I haven't been able to read all the way through it yet :) ) Would this work if

All client should be able to follow the link; it's just an HTTP-level redirect. Most clients will have problems displaying the links in a directory, though.

you were navigating to several folders below the nt:linkedFolder?
So for example,
http://server/wrkspc/wow

was a linkedFile to the 'hello' in

http://server/wrkspc/hello/again/image.gif

would,
http://server/wrkspc/wow/again/image.gif   still work?

It's possible to make this work (SAP KM's WebDAV server does that).

Also, I'm wondering if this functionality could be implemented by adding custom hooks to a DavLocatorFactory, or one of the other interfaces in the nearby packages. So you could essentially add a custom hook to resolve the node that should be looked up if it contained nt:linkedFile's without necessarily redirecting. I'm pretty new to these API's so any suggestions are really appreciated.

Thanks!
Steve
