Not all that great. Layers upon layers upon layers makes things slow an non-performant. userfs to access webdav, talking to a backend java webdav server(good like finding one of those that is easy to extend), that then talks thru a database access layer, to finally get the raw file bytes, would suck. Just use the raw filesystem that all operating systems already support, using whatever fileserver technology you want. Why reimplement nfs/smb in java, why reimplement git/svn/hg/cvs in java?
