Does SimpleWebdavServlet Support Search?
Hello,
I am interested in doing a DASL search on a Jackrabbit server accessed
via the SimpleWebdavServlet. It appears
to me that the WebdavResource objects created by this servlet don't
implement the SearchResource interface.
Is it possible to configure the webapp to enable searching? If not
configurable, how big a coding task might it be to implement?
I see relevant looking code in o.a.j.webdav.jcr.search. Might I be able
to adapt that to my needs? Any pointers?
Thanks.
Phil McGee

having DASL support in jackrabbit would be just awesome!

no objection here.

this is correct. the default resource implementation in the simple
servlet provides webdav 1,2 compliance classes. similarly the
simple server is limited to webdav 1,2 methods, although actually
i don't see the reason for this.

you would need to
- create a DavResource implementation that is searchable, thus
implements the SearchResource.
- provide the corresponding resource-factory.
currently you would also need to provide a servlet since the
simple server limits the possible methods. however, we could
remove this limitation, if nobody objects.

the code in o.a.j.webdav.jcr.* is created for jcr remoting over
webdav. therefore its not a generic implementation of the
Webdav Search internet draft. it may depend on your needs whether
this is helpful...
please also note that up to now there is not utility for the
DAV:basicsearch, since i could not find strong reasons
for this approach :)
kind regards
