Jackrabbit Webdav tutorial

[Hadas Vogel <ha...@yahoo-inc.com>]

Hi,

I've recently started using Jackrabbit's JCR API. However, I'd like to start using Jackrabbit's webdav instead.
Could you please recommend a tutorial which explains how to use it? I'm looking for something equivalent to this example (http://jackrabbit.apache.org/first-hops.html) in webdav.
For example, I'd like to know how to
- create a node and put a file on it
- create a versionable node
- get a file from a specific version
- add a label to a specific version

I have found this article online (http://jukkaz.wordpress.com/2009/11/24/jackrabbit-over-http/). However it does not cover all cases I am in need of.

In addition, I'd like to know in which cases we'd rather use Jackrabbit's SPI component.

Thank you in advance,
Hadas

WebDAV is the protocol to connect to the repository, it cannot be used to replace the JCR API. Instead of the programmatically approach via JCR you could consider choosing the Sling-Interface for maintenance.
The API itself is very good described. Just do a search for "JCR 2.0 HTML" - it's all there. How to connect via WebDAV can be found here: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/crx/current/how_to/webdav_access.html

Well, the main point of the generic WebDAV support is to implement ... 
WebDAV. So optimally, you don't need Jackrabbit-specific information.

That being said, there are of course a few restrictions/extensions that 
you may need to be aware of. It would be helpful if you'd be more 
specific about what you plan to do.

Getting back to your questions: you should be able to create a file node 
using a standard HTTP PUT request. Did you try that already?
