Marcel, I enjoyed your presentation on JSR 170 (not JSR-170) at JavaOne. I had not realized that it worked with WebDAV.
jackrabbit also comes with a WebDAV server. you can try it out by downloading this war file: jackrabbit-server-1.0.war from http://jackrabbit.apache.org/downloads.cgi
Going forward, do you see integration with applications at this level (WebDAV) or more using the direct API?
There are different ways how WebDAV can work together with a content repository. I basically see two:
1) provide 3rd party applications access to resources stored in a repository. e.g. there is a calendar server project called cosmo that is based on jackrabbit and uses a WebDAV server on top of it (http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/CosmoHome).
2) use WebDAV as a protocol to build a remote client that again exposes the JCR API.
It would be idea if you could use the java URL object to access content.
This is indeed possible with the jackrabbit WebDAV server. See above. regards marcel
