Hi,
I am writing a wrapper on top of WebDav Client 2.1 M1 (with latest
CVS code for DOMUtils.java). I am having a problem executing
proppatchMethod() for the property "group-member-set". I am trying to assign
user "john" to role "root". If I try the same through DAVExplorer 0.9, it is
working fine. The group-member-set property value that my algorithm
generates before it calls proppatchMethod is:
The group-member-set property value that I am trying to set using
webdavResource.proppatchMethod
============================================================================
<![CDATA[<D:href xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/root</D:href><D:href
xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/john</D:href><D:href
xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/guest</D:href>]]>
============================================================================
I get the following error:
============================================================================
<![CDATA[<D:href xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/root</D:href><D:href
xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/john</D:href><D:href
xmlns:D='DAV:'>/Slide/users/guest</D:href>]]>
Prop patch failed::Bad Request (400)
============================================================================
If I take this same string and add the property through DAVExplorer it works
fine. So I am sure that the string that I am generating for the property is
right. I guess there is a bug with the Slide2.1 M1 Webdav Client while
handling XML data.
Has anyone worked on this, any clues what could be wrong, or can anyone
validate that this is a bug with Webdav Client .....
any help is appreciated ...
thanks and regards,
Krishna

James,
Please ignore my e-mail, I looked at the CVS web site and it
was
pretty clear how to download the latest and greatest source code, I
will try
with the latest code and get back to you .... thanks a bunch!

You'll need to get it from CVS or wait until August 10 for the next
beta
release. The actual change was made to the DOMUtils class in
org.apache.util.

Hi James,
I am writing a wrapper on top of webdav client for our
application.
I am using Slide2.1M1. I found that the propfindMethod call on
property
"group-member-set" is always returning blank string. In the archived
discussion you had with Oliver
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06713.html),
you were saying that you fixed this and that you had a patch that
solves
this problem, where can I find the patch?
Code
============================================================================
============
String sPropertyName = "group-member-set";
Enumeration enumProperties =
webDavResource.propfindMethod("group-member-set");
String str =
(String)enumProperties.nextElement();
str = str.trim();
write("Property = index of root = " +
str +
str.length());
============================================================================

kind regards,
Krishna
