Opening a webfolder from a webapp: Best Practice

Following the discution: Best Practice
http://www.mail-archive.com/slide-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg06463.html


1. I made a First implementation:
*********************************

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/behaviors/overview/WebFolder.asp

<STYLE>
A {behavior: url(#default#AnchorClick);}
</STYLE>

<A HREF="webdav/"
   FOLDER="http://127.0.0.1:8080/webdav/"
   TARGET="_blank">
Open in Web Folder View
</A>


A] It works only with files not folders.
B] It works only with IE not FireFox.
C] It works only with Windows.

2. I made a Second implementation:
**********************************

I use a Servlet that return a "Windows Link" .lnk
using the given Win32Link.java file like describe in
http://www.mail-archive.com/slide-user@jakarta.apache.org/msg06496.html

A] It works with files AND folders.
B] It works only with IE not FireFox.
C] It works only with Windows (may be extended later ?).


Does anyone have a better solution ?
Or know why my second solution doesn't work under Firefox ?

Best Regards

Well, Yes but it is the simplest, lightess, less intrusive solution ... :-(

1. It is not possible to install a software on each machine because we
are in the "web world" so thin client ... Even if it would be possible
by script ... compagnies have to validate installed software and that
would be complicated ...


2. Users don't want to do anything ... they click on the document , edit
it save it that's all. ANd 80% of them use IE.

If you have a cross platform, cross application server solution,
 I would be really really interested ... :-)))))

Best Regards

Only folders, not files, right?

Because you're using IE-only technology :-)
