Versioning Problem with branches - RevisionDescriptorNotFoundException

[Matthias Reischenbacher <ma...@gmx.at>]

Hey,

we are implementing a content management system on top of slide. In the 
last days we tried to use as well the (DeltaV)webdav versioning 
extensions in order to provide a versioning feature in our CMS. But it 
doesn't seem to work properly, when the version tree of our version 
controlled resources gets branched.

All calls to slide are made with the webdav client library 
(org.apache.webdav.lib).

What we could do without no problem:

* put a resource under version control
version controlled resource:
foo.html

* make some versions by executing the CHECKOUT/CHECKIN methods
version history
history/1/foo.1.0
history/1/foo.1.1
history/1/foo.1.2

* Change the current version from "history/1/foo.1.2" to 
"history/1/foo.1.0" by executing the UPDATE method.

* Create the following version tree by executing CHECKOUT and CHECKIN to 
make a new version (history/1/foo.1.0.1) which would be the second child 
of "history/1/foo.1.0". --> Here the version tree gets branched

history/1/foo.1.0
   history/1/foo.1.0.1
   history/1/foo.1.1
     history/1/foo.1.2

Where the problem ocurred:
* When we want to make a CHECKOUT operation on foo.html (which is now 
referencing "history/1/foo.1.0.1" as the current version), we are 
getting a RevisionDescriptorNotFoundException.
That's the exact error message we get:

org.apache.slide.content.RevisionDescriptorNotFoundException: No 
revision descriptor found on object /history/1


Does anybody have a suggestion why this problem occurs?

Here I post my configuration parameters respecting the DeltaV versioning 
functionalities:
     <parameter name="historypath">/history</parameter>
     <parameter name="workspacepath">/workspace</parameter>
     <parameter name="workingresourcepath">/workingresource</parameter>
     <parameter name="auto-version">checkout-checkin</parameter>
     <parameter name="auto-version-control">false</parameter>
     <parameter name="versioncontrol-exclude"/>
     <parameter name="checkout-fork">discouraged</parameter>
     <parameter name="checkin-fork">discouraged</parameter>

Some help would be very appreciated...
