I have configured a tomcat (7.0.54) webdav server and try to access via a

If I run WebDAV in an IIS environment I can access this server automaticly from
all clients
via an UNC path like '\\webserver[@port]\webdav\' if the server side mapping is
'https://webserver[:port]/webdav'. For this I have done nothing. (Windows >=
version 7)
So it is possible to use this dynamicly in every client website, where I need
it. What is to do
to get this also on the tomcat server? Is it done with some kind of server
configuration or is
it a client side action.
Til now I mapped the webdav address to a windows drive letter, but this I want
to avoid.
(and you should not need to do that)
Any hints are welcome :-)
In the "any hints" category :
- in Windows (disk) Explorer, go to "Netzwerkumgebung"
- select "Netzwerkumgebung hinzufügen"
- click "Weiter" (2 X)
- in "Internet- oder Netzwerkadresse", enter your
"https://webserver:port/webdav";
and click "Weiter". Depending on how you set this up in your webserver, you may have to
login.
When you are done, you should have a new link under "Netzwerkumgebung", without a drive
letter. Under that link, what appears is the content of the webserver's DAV directories.
You can then drag/drop files to/from there, using Windows Explorer.
Is that what you mean by your (relatively obscure) question ?
(Web)DAV is a HTTP "sub-protocol" (or "extension"). Any accesses to a DAV resource are
via HTTP commands.
Possibly, Windows and IIS allows you to also access an IIS-based DAV server, via a UNC
kind of address, and make the translation automatically. But that would then be
Windows-specific.
Note: the Windows client-side implementation of DAV is full of non-standard
particularities and caveats. Do not be surprised if you encounter some issues with this,
and search Google and/or the Tomcat list archives for more information.
