This has nothing to do with Tomcat, or with DAV itself or with the server side of things in general. The reason why you may be able to do this with Microsoft IE and a Microsoft webserver, is because Microsoft products are based on a proprietary platform, and can thus introduce their own enhancements or variations to the way these products work together, without really needing to be very respectful of the established Internet standards. For example, on a Microsoft Windows workstation, you can also access server-side DAV directories using the Windows (file) Explorer, through its Web Folders capability in My Network Places. But that is specific to Windows workstations (and it has some serious compatibility problems of its own). In summary, if you want these capabilities, then you should use Microsoft products. Note that with the web folders implementation of DAV in the Windows Explorer, you should be able to access DAV directories on an Apache httpd or Tomcat server. *Provided* you have a correct version of the MS Web Folders installed on the workstation. And there are more incorrect ones as correct ones. Have fun finding the right one for your workstation. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
RE: tomcat 6.0.29 webdav servlet support for file uploading with browser
Let me try to explain my question again. Im not having problem with the webdav support which you get from tomcat. The only problem is that it is a servlet which handles request correctly for webdav client. It provides both upload of files, download of files and also deletion of files. The problem is that I am missing a JSP for it. So what happens is that when I browse in to the repository with a browser then the only option I got is traversing in the repository and also make downloads. What I would like to have is a jsp which would work as a front end for browsers. I should provide deletion, uploading, download and also traversing around in the repository. That is what I am missing and I just got the feeling that some one else already built this jsp and have made in downloadable for the general public. I have googled for it but did not find anything. I have just found full blown CMS systems as jackrabbit and others which I do not want! Regard from a Java Programmer!
