Jackrabbit 1.6 and DavEx ?

[John Tranier]

Hi all,

I have a Jackrabbit repository 1.6 that is currently embedded into our 
web application (deployment model 1).
We need now to externalize the repository (deployment model 3), and we 
do not have time yet to upgrade to the version 2.0.

So my question is : is it possible to have a DavEx remote connection to 
a repository with the API 1.6 ?
I tried to figure out by myself by browsing the docs and the list, but I 
couldn't find this information. I just saw the package spi2davex that 
gives me some hope.

If it's possible to do it, I would be glad to have a snippet of code to 
establish the connection. I've found it for the version 2.0 but I guess 
the Utils class used is proper to 2.0.

Thank you !
John
