whitingjr / webdav-handler

Fork of sourceforge.net/p/webdav-servlet, version 2.0.1, refactored to a generic SPI

WebDAV-Handler

What is it?

A generic service that brings basic WebDAV access to any store. Only 1 interface (IWebdavStorage) has to be implemented, an example (LocalFileSystemStorage) which uses the local filesystem, is provided.

NOTE: Additionally, a generic request/response SPI must be implemented to integrate with APIs like servlets or Vert.x. A few such adapters will be provided.

Unlike large systems (like slide), this servlet only supports the most basic data access options. versioning or user management are not supported

REQUIREMENTS

JDK 1.6 or above

INSTALLATION & CONFIGURATION

Notes on Forking Webdav-Servlet

This codebase was forked from http://sourceforge.net/p/webdav-servlet/code/HEAD/tree/tags/Release_2.0.1/

The dependency on servlet-api was removed, all references to that api were re-stubbed into local SPI interfaces, and the implementation was repaired. The plan moving forward is to re-implement adapters for servlet-api and vert.x (at least) so they integrate with the new SPI.

CREDITS

We want to thank Remy Maucherat for the original webdav-servlet and the dependent files that come with tomcat, and Oliver Zeigermann for the slide-WCK. Our IWebdavStorage class is modeled after his BasicWebdavStore.
