Lock/Unlock & Auto-Versioning

[Julien Charbon <ju...@neurosoft.fr>]

   Hi all,

  i'am trying WebDAV auto-versioning in mode "checkout-unlocked-checkin".
When I do this sequence of actions all work fine :

$ cadaver http://localhost:8080/slide/trainee/files/restricted
Looking up hostname... Connecting to server... connected.

Great ! Now continue with the same sequence bracketed with lock/unlock. [WebDAV permit
to lock inexistant resource for reserve the resource name].

dav:/slide/trainee/files/restricted/> lock NotVersioned.txt
 Locking `NotVersioned.txt': succeeded.

Argh ! There is no :

In fact, if you read the source of jakarta slide when somebody put a file for the first time
on the slide server, this file is put under version control by code :

...
catch (ObjectNotFoundException e) {
  ...
  // check if the resource should be put under version-control
  if ( Configuration.useVersionControl() && AUTO_VERSION_CONTROL ) {
       versioningHelper.versionControl(resourcePath);
   }
  ...
}
...

in PutMethod.java in package org.apache.slide.webdav.method.

So when somebody lock first a resource there is no ObjectNotFoundException, because the
object is create by the fisrt lock, and there is no versionControl() call on this resource.

My questions are :
  o This is normal behavior or not ?
  o If not where make change ? In PutMethod.java or in UnlockMethod.java.
Thanks for your reponses.

I use Slide 2.0.0 from CVS on Tomcat 4.1.8.
