Default Jackrabbit seems to set up Webdav read only.
if this is true, it's a bug. as far as i know the
default configuration for the 'simple server'
(this is the one that offers standard webdav functionality)
prompts for username/pw and subsequently creates
sessions that have full access.
therefore:
please note the difference between the 2 webdav
servlets shipped by default
(http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-jcr-server.html).
I did not yet
succeed to change the configuration to be able to create files with a
Webdav client. I manged to connect to a Jackrabit default workspace in a
repository, using "AnyClient", "DAV Explorer" and "Windows XP Web
Folders". I did not yet manage to create folders or upload files with
any of those clients. I connected with admin/admin, although I didn't
set that user up.
the underlying jackrabbit-core 1.4.x has a very
simple ac implementation that does not require users
to be created. -> see the various threads dealing with
AccessManager and custom implementations (this is not
a webdav issue).
I'm surprised that any username and password works to
login the WebDav,
see above
but with read access only.
see above.
I would very much appreciate if anyone could help me how to set up the
simplest scenario where I get write access with any WebDav client using
the Jackrabbit WebApp and Tomcat.
1) check if you are really looking at the 'simple server'
as described above
> http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-web-application.html
> http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jackrabbit-jcr-server.html
2) make sure the servlet configuration is correct:
> WEB-INF/web.xml
> servlet-name = Webdav
> servlet-class = o.a.j.j2ee.SimpleWebdavServlet
> missing-auth-mapping -> commented.
3) with the default installation there used to be
a welcome page describing the various servlets
present and offering a link to the resource
repesenting the root node of the repository.
-> editing is obviouly on possible below that resource.
hope that helps.
if you don't manage to get that welcome page, please
report a bug. the welcome page and the overall user guiding
recently got modified (see #JCR-1220)... so my description
above might not be totally accurate. in any case you should
be able to obtain a link pointing to that root-resource.
