TOMCAT WEBDAV question
Hi I am trying to use Tomcat's implementation of WEBDAV for my file upload requirement .After deploying webDAV as a web folder, I need to open to webdav as a webfolder, and upload files by dragging them over from Windows Explorer to IE . By default, Tomcats webDAV does not have a configurable property where we can set the rootpath of where the files will be uploaded to (eg. C:/tmp). I think TOMCATs implementation PUTs the file based on a relative path to the webdav web app directory . Right now, when you drag a file over to the webdav folder, its treated as a PUT method, and it will invoke DefaultServlets service() to do the uploading. Do you know if it is possible to set an absolute root path with Tomcat's webDAV ? if it's not configurable, how would we change the code to do this ? I have been looking at WebDAVServlet, but found no solution yet how to control where the files will be sent to . - Ch - Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!

tomcat webdav question
Hi, I am not sure where to send this question, I guess here would be a good starting point. Is it possible to configure the webdav servlet in tomcat to get files from a new filesystem, which has a java api to access files, rather than the local filesystem or an an nfs mounted file system. Slide is supposed to do something like this, but it has much more functionality than what is needed here which may make it hard to integrate. The filesystem that webdav would need to support is implemented through a mysql server, and with its own acls. So the webdav servlet would also need to use a mysql table for authentication which could be implemented through a tomcat jdbc realm. How should I go about it?, Do I need to completely hack the webdav servlet, and implement the new filesystem code there, or is there a simpler method, and if this is not the right mailing list which other mailing lists should I send this question to. Please let me know. thanx, sameer. __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Please let me know. If you implement a JNDI directory context which would access your repository, it could work. For the authentication, you definitely need some kind of custom realm, though. Some docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/config/resources.html And see in the javadocs the o.a.naming.resources package.
