WebDAV

[Felix Meschberger <fm...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I added a WebDAV bundle (jcr/webdav) which adds functionality to Sling
to expose a repository over WebDAV. By default, the bundle exposes the
repository under /dav, which of course is configurable through Config
Admin.

At the moment, the bundle also requires the HTTP Client bundle. I am
considering integrating the HTTP Client library into the web dav bundle
to make it standalone ...

Finally, I also added the webdav bundle to the modules list in the root
pom and also added the webdav and httpclient bundles to the full build
profile of launcher/app.

Enjoy !

Regards
Felix

Thanks for that. I excluded this configuration for now, because I am
reluctant to this solution ... But since this is a first shot, it is
probably a good move. Though, I would read the config file and set the
configuration in the init() method and not in the activate() method.

What I am thinking of, would be the following:

  * We declare all IOHandlers in org.apache.jackrabbit.server.io as SCR
services.

  * The Sling WebDAV support listens for such services and looks at one
(or two)
    service reference properties to decide whether to use the IOHandler
service
    as a property or io handler or both. Whenever such a service is
bound or
    unbound, the ResurceConfig is updated (maybe by cycling the WebDAV
Servlet ??)

  * The standard IOManagerImpl and PropertyManagerImpl would not be
configurable
    and always be used
 
  * The node types list for the <collection> and <non-collection>
elements
    could be a String[] property for the WebDAV support service.

  * For the filtering, the class is a string property and the nodetypes
and namespaces
    are settings are String[] properties for the WebDAV support service.

WDYT ?

Felix

I have added (revision 612808) a webdav-resource-config.xml to the
bundle (hardcoded for now), to map nt:file and related nodetypes in
the "usual" way.

Thanks, I'm using it in usling-webapp now and it works fine!
