Hi André, many thanks for your thought's, but my requirement is not so complex and difficult like it could be.

It is a big internal and 15 year old webserver, where I want to implement exactly this purpose, what you are talking about. DAV should be used instead of share's, like it is today. This service is only used internally and will never become a public service, so from the security site I have no such strange requirements. Parallel access for writing will be solved with a simple locking mechanism, because it is relatively seldom, that more than one person work on the same item and then it is acceptable, that the first owner blocks the file til he is ready. At least I have tried a little bit around to make our client (written in Java) able to send DAV request, but this failed til now, because it seems, that I have to write my own ' DavURLConnection', because the 'HttpURLConnection' can't handle the additional requests. Do you know, if some Java library for DAV clients exist. I haven't found any lightweight solution til now. To get the data and edit them, it is very strait forward and works fine for me :-) Many thanks for your patience Arno --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
