I don't understand the second point, could you explain 
more precisely ?

I've done pretty much the same thing half a year ago :)
You'll *need* to subclass WebdavServlet to implement doGet(), 
which should forward() to the JSP page(s).

Well, I would recommend making a custom PostMethod 
implementation to handle the file uploads. In your 
WebdavServlet subclass, you override createWebdavMethod() 
to handle the instantiation of you method class if the 
method is "POST", and let super handle all the other 
methods.

For the implementation of the PostMethod you can look
at the code of PutMethod, as it will be pretty similar, 
except for the additional complexities of handling the
multipart response body.
