Hello again, The thing is that the company wants to implement webdav to it's own existing document and knowledge management system, allowing users to change content without downloading a document and having to upload it back again. I believe the documents are opened from within that management system.
So, Mark you are saying that the already existing Tomcat+webdav structure will work for that purpose, where one only needs to mount the root folder of the cms-like-system, like I mentioned earlier? Will user privilleges work too? Does that mean that the server side doesn't need to be touched at all and basically a good client needs to be found that handles locking and etc.? Thanks again for the info!!!
