--> Yes, but you need to install the add-on called "WebDAV virtual drive plug-in". In order to do that, simply use menu item "Options|Install Add-ons". In the case of the applet, you need to redeploy the applet using "deploywebstart -applet" after making sure that the WebDAV drive is found in XXE_install_dir/addon/. --> About the WebDAV server integrated in Alfresco, excerpts from a (private) support thread: Customer wrote: --- We are now considering buying XXE Professional for my new company XXXX Software. However we need the WebDAV support. I have just tested WebDAV access to a remote Alfresco server and I have the following error: Expected local name 'lockentry'; current local name 'lockscope' --- XMLmind support wrote: --- For us, the error message is crystal-clear: this looks like a server bug (I mean in the WebDAV support of Alfresco). The fact that it works fine with a Web browser (which is just an HTTPclient and not a WebDAV client) and with oXygen does not mean that the server is conforming to the WebDAV spec. In general, WebDAV clients such as oXygen's are *incredibly* *lenient* in order to cope with broken servers. On the contrary, our own WebDAV client is very strict, which in practice, makes it almost unusable in the real world! (Well, it works with Apache mod_dav, IIE WebDAV module, Tomcat WebDAV servlet, our own WebDAV server, etc.) --- Customer wrote: --- Thanks for your quick and detailed reply. I checked the Alfresco source code and Alfresco JIRA and it seems it is a known issue: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2541 The issue is open since January 2009 and hasn't moved since, even though the reporter proposes a patch. I will test the patch myself and let you know how I get on. Then hopefully XXE will work again for me :-) Sorry I didn't check this out before I bothered you earlier. --- -- XMLmind XML Editor Support List [email protected] http://www.xmlmind.com/mailman/listinfo/xmleditor-support
