WebDAV-Servlet
===============
What is it?
A Servlet that brings basic WebDAV access to any store. Only 1 interface
(IWebdavStorage) has to be implemented, an example (LocalFileSystemStorage)
which uses the local filesystem, is provided.
Unlike large systems (like slide), this servlet only supports the most basic
data access options. versioning or user management are not supported
REQUIREMENTS
JDK 1.42 or above
apache-tomcat 5.0.28 or above (or similar)
INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION
-place the webdav-servlet.jar in the /WEB-INF/lib/ of your webapp
-open web.xml of the webapp. it needs to contain the following:
webdav
net.sf.webdav.WebdavServlet
ResourceHandlerImplementation
net.sf.webdav.LocalFileSystemStore
name of the class that implements
net.sf.webdav.WebdavStore
rootpath
/tmp/webdav
folder where webdavcontent on the local filesystem is stored
storeDebug
0
triggers debug output of the
ResourceHandlerImplementation (0 = off , 1 = on) off by default
webdav
/*
-if you want to use the reference implementation, set the parameter "rootpath"
to where you want to store your files
-if you have implemented your own store, insert the class name
to the parameter "ResourceHandlerImplementation"
and copy your .jar to /WEB-INF/lib/
-with /* as servlet mapping, every request to the webapp is handled by
the servlet. change this if you want
-with the "storeDebug" parameter you can trigger the reference store implementation
to spam at every method call. this parameter is optional and can be omitted
-authentication is done by the servlet-container. If you need it, you have to
add the appropriate sections to the web.xml
ACCESSING THE FILESTORE
the webdav-filestore is reached at:
"http:"
e.g.: http://localhost:8080/webdav-servlet
weta-dfs-webdav has been tested on tomcat 5.0.28 and 5.5.12
so far, we accessed it from windows(2000 and XP) and MAC
CREDITS
We want to thank Remy Maucherat for the original webdav-servlet
and the dependent files that come with tomcat,
and Oliver Zeigermann for the slide-WCK. Our IWebdavStorage class is modeled
after his BasicWebdavStore.
Thanks for trying WebDAV-Servlet!
