Best Practice?
I would like to have my web clients be able to check out a files from a web interface, then download the file, work on it and check it back in. I ideally I would like the user to be able to click on a link and the doc just opens up and when changes are made the user can click save and it saves to the webdav area on the folder.
In working with this idea it only looks like there are two solutions:
1) The user has to open the file in a webdav client (ex web folders in ie)
2) The user is prompted to save the file locally and then they have to upload it back into the system.
Is there an alternate best practice that can streamline this process?
Thanks!

Grant, this sounds like an interesting solutions, do you need to make a
network folder first or anything? Does it take any preconfiguation or client
(other then default) on the windows side? If not, this looks like it may be
a possible solution for windows based implementations. If you could donate
the colde, that would be great. I have seen this possible HTML code for
opening up folders from a web page:
<body>
<STYLE>
A {behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick);}
</STYLE>
<A HREF = "http://localhost:8080/storage/files/Survey.doc"
FOLDER = "http://localhost:8080/storage/files/"
TARGET = "_blank"
>
Open in Web Folder View
</A>
</body>
The only issue here is that it doesn't open up the file directly, just the
folder that's it's in. Your solution seems more streamline.

Tim, Wiley -
This will help. Windows needs the "lnk" extension on the tiny binary
file it saves. Either add Tim's header, or map the Servlet to
/FileServlet/* and making a request like: /FileServlet/test.lnk
Otherwise it looks like you're on the right track since "L" is the first
byte header of a lnk file.

Thanks Tim!
That was very helpful. It ended up looking like this:
Win32Link lnk = new Win32Link();
lnk.setWebfile("files on " + request.getServerName(),
"http://localhost:8081/storage/files/Survey.doc",
"http://localhost:8081/storage/files/");
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
String contentDisposition = "inline; filename=" + "survey.lnk";
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition);
byte [] data = lnk.getBytes();
response.setContentLength(data.length);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(data);
out.close();

Slightly off topic to your thread. Can't help with your immediate problem
but FWIW;
You can give IE a default file name to Save As other than the your servlet
name,
using the filename= parameter in your response header.
Content-Type = application/download
Content-Disposition = attachment; filename=test.lnk
There also a KB ticket (applies to IE5.5 SP1);

Hi Grant, I've been trying to use your class and after putting everything

problems. Here is what I have:
public class FileServlet extends HttpServlet {

HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
Win32Link lnk = new Win32Link();
lnk.setWebfile("files on " + request.getServerName(),

response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
byte [] data = lnk.getBytes();
response.setContentLength(data.length);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(data);
out.close();

}
When I access this servlet a save as box comes up and the filename is called
"FileServlet", I then try to open it and it looks like byte code:

Wiley,
I have an elaborate WebFolder hack I could contribute to Slide (if
there's a place for it) that involves creating Shortcut file (*.LNK) for
any given destination. Using a shortcut on MS Office documents opens
them directly and the normal save button overwrites directly back to the
server.
An example link might be:
<a
href="/linkMakingServlet/MyLink.lnk?dest=/slide/work/Report1.doc">Report1.do
c</a>
The user would be asked if they wanted to save or open "MyLink.lnk". If
they save, they'll get a nice little icon on the desktop for later use,
or if they open, MS Word will popup and begin its GET/LOCK/PROPFIND
trickery.
I wrote a pure Java class (based on some hex editing, voodoo, and an old
Win95 C project)... But I have long hoped that there was a better
solution. If anyone else out there has a better way, PLEASE SHARE!
Otherwise, I'll contribute mine as it might be the only way to have a
browser initiated direct edit in Windows with no plug-ins.
