Hi Julian, The WebDAV mount is authenticated using the default admin account. I know it's probably not a best practice to create nodes using JcrUtils, then jump over to WebDAV to unpack a zip in the new nt:folder node, but this needs to work with older code that expects a filesystem target directory. I would have expected the admin account to have appropriate write permissions.
I find the fact that the new nodes are created using my local user's ownership very odd as the server is running as a sling UID: %> ps au | grep sling sling 7028 19.6 7.0 3832456 287164 pts/4 Sl 22:52 1:10 /usr/bin/java -Xmx384M -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=30303,server=y,suspend=n -jar /opt/sling/sling/org.apache.sling.launchpad-8-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar -c /var/lib/sling -p 8090 -a 0.0.0.0 -Bruce From: Julian Sedding <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Tuesday, November 25, 2014 at 10:42 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Make a JcrUtils created node writable from WebDAV? Hi Bruce You could try authenticating your WebDAV connection with the admin credentials. If that works, it's likely to be an issue with the setup of your JCR permissions. You may well be connecting as anonymous currently and therefore be denied writes (I'm not familiar with the vanilla Sling permission setup).

What else do I need to make a node that I create using JcrUtils.getOrCreateByPath(..) be writable from WebDAV? adminResolver = resolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null); adminSession = adminResolver.adaptTo(Session.class); Node destinationNode = JcrUtils.getOrCreateByPath(destination, JcrConstants.NT_FOLDER, adminSession); destinationNode.addMixin(JcrConstants.MIX_LOCKABLE); destinationNode.addMixin(JcrConstants.MIX_VERSIONABLE); adminSession.save(); Lock lock = lockManager.lock(destination, true, true, Long.MAX_VALUE, NimJcrConstants.INGEST_JOB_TOPIC); VersionManager versionManager = workspace.getVersionManager(); versionManager.checkout(destination); I'm calling a legacy library that expects a writable destination folder. I'm passing the WebDAV folder name and failing with: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /mnt/jcr/test/test.txt (Permission denied) The file system view shows the folder is owned by my UID rather than the UID of the sling daemon: %> ls -ld /mnt/jcr/test drwx------ 1 bedge staff 2048 Nov 25 16:05 /mnt/jcr/test Can I set the file system permissions using javax.jcr? -Bruce
