Problem creating (WebDAV) resources with new repository interface
Hello (Guido),
I have done a small js file to test the functionalities of the new
WebDAVRepository[1] using the NEW Repository[2] interface.
I encountered a problem creating new reosurces.
It does not work when using saveContent(String, String) on the [1]/[2].
Normally, looking at the WebDAVUtil class, there is a special method
createResource(URI) which is used to create a new resource.
The problem is, the repository interface does not provide such a method,
yet.
Does it make sense to add a method called makeResource to the Repository
interface ??
In order to omit the makeResource method, the saveContent method should
test if the given resource exists, and if so, a different constructor
for the WebDAVResource in saveContent has to be used. Additionally we
could overload saveContent like saveContent(String url, String content,
boolean create) etc.
Makes sense? Or have I missed a way to create a new resource?

Good point.

Good idea, I will do that.

Hm, I don't know. I don't want to bloat the interface too much right
from the start. If you find yourself needing these why not just do:
repo.createResource(uri, "");
repo.saveContent(uri, node);

Wouldn't it be useful also to have
createResource(String url, Source src)
createResource(String url, Node src)
??
