Re: WebDAV ?

[David Jencks]

I don't know much about WebDAV, but I don't think it is reasonable to 
have an implementation for Jetty that requires all of Tomcat and 6 
supporting jars as a dependency.  To me it would make more sense to 
integrate Tomcat if WebDAV is required, or implement WebDAV independent 
of Tomcat.

What exactly do we need WebDAV for?  Are there any plans at Jetty to 
implement WebDAV support?

thanks

You may be right.
From another stand point, one could see it as a service using under 
the cover the Jetty HTTP server features. The WebDAV capabilities are 
covered by the Tomcat WebDAV servlet. After having considered the 
RFC2518, namely "HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring -- WEBDAV", 
I have decided to plug the Tomcat implementation as a full 
re-implementation would not have been so simple (e.g. the Tomcat 
implementation, in its 5.0.16 revision, has a bug which does not allow 
to move or rename a file).

This service holds together these two features. I think that one could 
use it to distribute components to Geronimo.

I also think that Geronimo could offer out-of the box a HTTP service 
in order to mount servlets, which does not require the full servlet 
specifications. For instance, one could mount RPC servlets for various 
reasons (Axis integration?).

For these reasons, and especially the "component distributions" 
reason, I would like to keep it in Geronimo. However, I am ready to 
move it to another location; just let me know where.

Cheers,
Gianny
