Re: Re: Failed Login Exception while using Windows WebFolder client ..

[imadhusudhanan <im...@zohocorp.com>]

HI,

    This is what I like to supply to the user ,
    
    Url supplied :: http://exampledomain.exampleserver.com/webdav/User_Name 

    My repository config file  ::   webapps/domain/wedav/repository.xml
    My repo Home dir     :: webapps/domain/webdav

    The above two will be used to get the repository instance thru JNDI look - up. And the JNDI look up code goes like this ..

    String configFile = "../webapps/domain/webdav/repository.xml";
            String repHomeDir = "../webapps/domain/webdav";
                        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
            env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.jackrabbit.core.jndi.provider.DummyInitialContextFactory");
                 env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "localhost");
            InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(env);
            RegistryHelper.registerRepository(ctx, "repo", configFile, repHomeDir, true);
                        Repository r = (Repository) ctx.lookup("repo");
                        
                        if(r != null) {
                SimpleCredentials cred = new SimpleCredentials(ADMIN_USER_ID, ADMIN_PASS.toCharArray());
                           Session session = r.login(cred, null);
                                JackrabbitWorkspace ws = (JackrabbitWorkspace)session.getWorkspace();
                javax.jcr.Node rn = session.getRootNode();
                                this.rootNode = rn;
                this.session = session;
                               this.repo = r;
                return r;
                       } else {
                System.out.println("Return null");
            }
              
    With this i get a repository created under webdav directory. 

    Also it was easy for me when I gave a workspace to one user so that when I map userX to workspace userX i can supply him the url http:// example_domain.com/webdav/userX 

    And when it goes to userY it is http://example_domain.com/webdav/userY and thats it JR will directly let the user in to the specified workspace defined by the name of the user. 

    So may i know the url u gave,  /repository/<workspace-name>/<repo-path>) ??

    What's the <repo-path> in this ?? Is that the /home/userX u have mentioned  ?? Do let me know I need provide further info .. Take care.

MadhuSudhanan I.

It's the JCR path inside the workspace you want to address via webdav.
For the root folder it would be empty, ie. the whole string would be
/repository/<workspace-name>.
