Versioning
Hi
I have a few questions to versioning (WebDAV on top of Subversion with
Apache 2 and mod_dav).
1) I cannot get checkin and checkout working properly, read access (GET)
works.
Here is some sample code:
HttpURL url = new HttpURL("http://localhost/test/test.txt"); //this file
exists
res = new WebdavResource(url, true); // returns 200 OK
res.checkoutMethod(url.getPath()); // returns 405 Method not allowed
res.putMethod(url.getPath(), "***Contents***"); // returns 409 Conflict
res.checkinMethod(url.getPath()); // returns 409 Conflict
Is there some sample code available of how a file modification in the
repository should look like? I don't want to change the configuration
(auto-versioning or something like that, in order to get rid of the
checkout/checkin) on the client side, as this would make the deployment
difficult.
Authentication is turned off. Checkin and checkout works from the
command line under Linux.
2) I want to get the current revision number of a checked-in file. Is
the only possibility to make a PROPFIND for "DAV:version-name"?
3) Can "DAV:version-name" also contain something else than the number of
a Subversion revision (Integer)? A String for example?
3) How do I find out whether a resource is versioned? Check whether the
properties "DAV:version-name" or "DAV:checked-in" are set?
4) I want to retrieve an "old" revision. What is the official way of
doing this? I know that I can get a specific revision through pointing
the HttpURL object to e.g. "http://localhost/!svn/ver/3/test" (to get
revision 3 of "http://localhost/test"), but this seems to be a bit long
winded (and "DAV:checked-in" does not exist by accessing the node this
way). Is there a better way of doing this?
5) The properties "DAV:creationdate" and "DAV:getlastmodified" are
returned in different date formats. Why?
6) Is there some detailed documentation (perhaps with some sample code)
on how to use the versioning capabilities of Slide?
Would be great if I got a few questions answered, thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Hannes

I don't know why it doesn't work with checkout/put/checkin, I also tried
an mkworkspace before. Somebody else who tried Slide with mod_dav_svn?
I enabled now autoversioning on server-side, following this page:
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.webdav.autoversioning.html>.
It works, but I'm not really happy with it as I would like to have more
control over revisions (like I would have with a manual checkout/...).
Best regards,
Hannes

With which RCS does check[in|out]Method() work? Or in other words: How
do I update, add or delete files in a versioned repository (preferably
Subversion)?
Do you have an idea what I can do to use Slide with WebDAV/Subversion?

Ok. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss a Slide-specific
method for accessing revisions. A thing like getMethod(String path,
String version-name) would be pretty handy.
Best regards,
Hannes

I don't believe that Subversion supports checkout-in-place.

...on the version. Yes, I think so.

Yes (in general).

It's version controlled if either checked-in or checked-out is set.

Well, there are multiple ways to do that. Check RFC3253.

Historic. DAV:getlastmodified is defined based on the HTTP last-modified
header.

Dunno.
