WebdavResource and Creation Date

[Eric Hodges <er...@mongoosetech.com>]

I figured out why WebdavResource always returns a bogus creation date.  It
never asks the server for it.

In setBasicProperties(), add this line to make it ask the server for creation
date:

		properties.addElement(CREATIONDATE);

Committers:

Can someone make this change in CVS?  I've seen a few other posts asking why
this value was always bogus.

For right now, you can use the setDefaultAction method with a action of ALL.

The setBasicProperties is made for consideration of network traffic... 
If there were many resources, that would be some troubles...
You can notice that there is a last modified date as one of the very basic 6 properties.

I think it's time to utilize the default... probably the method named setDefaultProperties...
We can set the properties mostly used.
It will have somewhat the different function distinguishing in between setting
basicProperties and DefaultProperties.

BTW, if you need to consider the network traffic seriously, 
you can set the action of the setProperties methods with the argument as setting name only...
That gathers only names for resources....  ;)

Could you please RECOMMEND those attributes of a WebDAV resource mostly used...
Just like createdate and some more?  Those what you need will be 'DEFAULT'.... 

What do you think of it?   It's ok?  ;)
