Xavier,
You're right the getChildResources returns all children for a collection (files
and collections). You then check each resource to see if it is a collection. If
it is then you add it to your folder list, if it isn't you can ignore it.
As far as I can tell all elements in a collection are considered as resources
(collections or files). You can certainly address them the same way and they
share many of the same properties.
I haven't had the need to find an 'infinity' parameter, but I'm sure you may be
able to find one.

getChildResources also only returns a file listing, not folders. Do I
have to set a property or something telling it to grab folders?
Since a folder is just a logical grouping of files, is it still
considered a "resource"?
I notice in the javadoc for getChildResources it says "Get all
resources in this collection with the depth 1". Is it possible to get all
resources with a depth of infinity (or an arbitrarily large number, say 10)? It
would then be a simple matter to infer the (non-empty) folders from the
returned files.

Xavier,
Try using getChildResources. This will return a list of WebdavResource
which you can then test for each.
I found this to be the most reliable way to interrogate child resources
in a collection.

Subject: Re: Folder Listing
Hi Andrew,
I've checked out the article you mention, the most applicable
part I found was the following:
"Listing the files in the current directory is handled by the
listFiles() method. Note in this example that again we check to make sure that
we have the correct type of path.
public String[] listFiles () throws Exception
{
if(!wdr.isCollection())
throw new Exception ("Path is currently a file");
return wdr.list();
}"
... but no folders :(
As for output, my test code just prints out the values of the
three arrays I fetch, which contain correct file listings for the path I
specify in the setPath() method, as long as I specify a valid path. What other
output would help you?
To reiterate, I am succesfully connecting to the WebDAV server,
but cannot get a list of folders.
Is a folder considered a "resource"?

You haven't included any output from your application to help
debug
it, so I'll assume you're including the appropriate context NDS
context for the user "user".

I found the ONJava.com artcile "Sliding into WebDAV" to be a
particularly useful resource when I was first fiddling about.
See

few
pointers.
