| ==================================== |
| Welcome to Jackrabbit WebDAV Library |
| ==================================== |
| |
| This is the WebDAV Library component of the Apache Jackrabbit project. |
| This component provides interfaces and common utility classes used for |
| building a WebDAV server or client. The following RFC have been integrated: |
| |
| * RFC 2518 (WebDAV - HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring) |
| * RFC 3253 (DeltaV - Versioning Extensions to WebDAV) |
| * RFC 3648 (Ordered Collections Protocol) |
| * RFC 3744 (Access Control Protocol) |
| * DAV Searching and Locating (DASL) |
| * Binding Extensions to Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) (experimental) |
| |
| In addition this library defines (unspecified) |
| |
| * Observation |
| * Bundling multiple request with extensions to locking |
| |
| Common Questions |
| ================ |
| |
| Q: Which WebDAV features are supported? |
| A: DAV 1, 2, DeltaV, Ordering, Access Control, Search, Bind |
| |
| Q: This this WebDAV library provide a full dav server? |
| A: This library only defines interfaces, utilities and common |
| classes used for a dav server/client. |
| A JCR specific implementation can be found in the 'jcr-server' |
| and the 'webapp' project. |
| |
| Q: How do a get a deployable Jackrabbit installation with WebDAV and |
| optional RMI support? |
| A: The 'webdav' project only serves as library. In order to access |
| a Jackrabbit repository please follow the instructions present |
| with the 'webapp' project. |
| |
| Q: Does the WebDAV library has dependency to JSR170 |
| A: No, the library can be used as generic webdav library in any |
| other project. There exists a dependency to the jackrabbit-commons |
| library for utility classes only. |

| Things to do |
| ============ |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| todo webdav/version |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| - review: compliance to deltaV |
| - reconsider feature-sets (see also JCR-394) |
| - CHECKOUT may contain request body (working-resource, activity, checkout-in-place) |
| - CHECKIN may contain request body (working-resource, checkout-in-place) |
| - VERSION-CONTROL may contain request body (workspace f.) |
| - BASELINE: creation of Baseline resources is not yet supported |
| (TODO within AbstractWebDAVServlet) |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| todo webdav/ordering |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| - respect Position header with creation of new collection members by |
| PUT, COPY, MKCOL requests |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| todo webdav/search |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| - SearchResource should extend DavResource |
| - Library misses support for the DAV:basicsearch |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| todo webdav/transaction |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| - review naming of the lock scopes. 'global','local' are not correct in |
| this context. |
| - j2ee explicitely requires any usertransaction to be completed |
| upon the end of the servletes service method. |
| general review necessary. |
