RE: Propfind

[Robert Mertens <rm...@ptc.com>]

I am running Slide with Tomcat.When using the database store, the href that
is returned, contains the absolute address as stored in the database.  In
order for it to work with dav_explorer and web folders, it requires the
servlet uri to be prepended.

When accessing the root node, the dav_native flag is set to false.  This
flag remains set even for children e.g. depth=1.  I don't think this is the
correct behaviour.  Probably it would be best to pick up all properties
(including root), and then override if dav_native is set to false.  This
will allow us to set proprieatry attributes for Microsoft and other DAV
applications as they come along.

The path related problems are one of the most annoying problems I have to
solve. Just appending the Slide object's URI is not enough, because Slide
may not be mapped to the root context (or to the root path), so indeed I
have to make a mix with the request URI.

The non native mode is forced on the root node and its immediate children. I
did this because those node are usually created by the bootstrap, and do not
contain the necessary DAV properties.

I suggest doing the following things :
- Enforce the required DAV properties on every object
- Also enforce that an object has a least one revision
- Remove non native mode, since all the required properties would be
enforced
- Fix the paths related problems. I'm debugging these right now for the DAV
servlet I'm writing for Catalina.
- Improve namespace support
