changing the storage location for webdav app

I want to modify the default webdav app in Tomcat 5.5 to storing information in a folder outside the webapps hierachy. How do I do that ?

Tomcat WebDAV access via httpd/jk

Posted by Henrik Vendelbo <hv...@bluprints.com>.
Hi guys,

I have run in to a little problem with accessing a webdav enabled app on tomcat.

I run Tomcat 5.5 with Apache2+jk in front of it, but fail to get working connection when authenticating.

I have configured tomcat and app exactly as my installation on a local test server where I access tomcat directly without routing it through Apache2

With Win XP web folders it does that annoying domain prefix thing
With Dreamweaver it seems to work, but is extreeeemly slow and reports a lot of network errors


Any suggestions ?

Re: changing the storage location for webdav app

The webdav servlet only supports accessing content within the webapp in 
which the servlet is used. Therefore you have two options:
- move the whole webapp outside the webapps directory
- on *nix you could use symbolic links but I haven't tested this

For a more comprehensive webdav implementation have a look at the slide 
project.
