simple webdav versioning

[jeremi joslin <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I'm working on a project of open source (ASL 2.0) document manager.
The goal is to make collaboration easier. We want to do a tool like a
wiki, but with desktop tools like Open Office, MS Office or anything
else if you develop the plugin. We use jackrabbit (simple webdav
server) as our webdav repository. We need to be able to save each
version of all files.

As I've seen in the simple server, the versioning is not implemented,
but it is on the JCRServerServlet.
Do you want to implement it on the simple server?
Does someone is working on? I will be pleased to help to do it.

Jérémi

from the servlet? that should not be necessary.

but you may find the /server/webdav/jcr (the remoting stuff)
useful. i guess the basic stuff would be pretty similar for the
simple server, but i'd did not take a closer look at it.

sure.

yes sure, it's just if someone don't want to allow users to turn on
versionning but it can be done by the right management I think.

Do you think it's possible to use some code from the JCRServerServlet?

like now 1.0 is in another branch, can you commit it?

i don't have anything against having the simple server
being deltaV enabled :)) the reason for only having
webdav 1,2 compliance lever was that up to now i had no
need for additional stuff and nobody asked for it...
that's it.

what would be the usecase for having the configuration?
a server being deltaV enabled can happily deal with a
level1,2 client, can't it?

oh. regarding rfc 3744... there is a jira issue for this
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-350, since the dav
library is currently missing support for 3744.
i have to admit, that i'm already done with issue JCR-350
(at least in an initial version), but i didn't commit it yet,
because it would have made it hard to separate the changes that
go into 1.0 from new stuff :)).

I will start it maybe this week end.

Why you don't want to had this functionnalities to the simple webdav
server? We will not broke anything, and maybe if you want we can
disable each extensions on the configuration file.

I will work first on the document versioning
(http://www.webdav.org/deltav/), and after the right management
(http://www.webdav.org/acl/).

i may begin working on this in the near future. i will know more
within a week or two. if that does become a reality, it will very
likely make sense to put support for all webdav extensions into that
project and leave the simple server for rfc 2518 only.

Some time ago there was a discussion about building
a general webdav server, which would for sure support
versioning as well. But i don't know if someone is
working on this.
(http://www.mail-archive.com/jackrabbit-dev@incubator.apache.org/msg03878.html)

Nevertheless, if you wish to contribute to the simple
server, feel free to do so.

Kind regards
