Webdav Client Examples?

[ossi petz-2]

Hallo

Has anyone made some examples on how to use HttpClient with the
Jackrabbit Webdav Client?

  - list files/folders
  - read files
  - write files
  - delete files

i wasnt able to find any starting point, tutorial, step-by-step guide,
test-case at all :(


some pointer where to look at would be cool! (a fool-proof link if possible)


thanks

Not really. The WebDAV support in Jackrabbit is more focused on
server-side implementations than clients.

The best there is for clients is a collection of WebDAV method classes
in the jackrabbit-webdav component. See [1] for a list of the
available methods that you can use together with the HttpClient
library.

there is an example in the sandbox/spi/spi2dav project.

... which are only waiting for somebody having time to put them
together to a complete dav client :).

Some work got started a long time ago here:
http://wiki.apache.org/jackrabbit/WebDAV

However, I ran out of time.  Over the past year or so, there wasn't that
much interest in WebDAV support with Jackrabbit, but with Slide now
officially closing the doors it may be time to increase support for
WebDAV (documentation/examples as well as implementation when needed).

As a Slide committer I might be interested to pitch in, but I need to get my
arms around this before I volunteer.

Hallo

thanks for the replies.

Yet i find it rather difficult to start with a jackrabbit webdav client :/
my plans where to patch commons-vfs with ssl-webdav from jakarta-slide.
but well the plan died with the retirement of slide.

i am not familiar with http client either. so without any examples it's
just too time consuming to start with for me.

yet i could help with some tests (as the infrastructure is set up).
maybe unit tests.

since slide has retired a new webdavclient would be cool :)


thanks

ossi

Hi;
Can you please refer to a link that I can access "sandbox/spi/spi2dav project"
I couldn't find it by googling.

Cheers,
Hamid

here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/sandbox/spi/spi2dav

please be aware that the code there is not intended to be
an end-user dav client. but you can get an idea how
to make usage of dav-method-extensions in conjunction with
apache-httpclient.

Hello,

I have managed to create a new Document inside webdav using jackrabbit webdav client:
[code]

            HostConfiguration hostConfig = new HostConfiguration();
            hostConfig.setHost("localhost", 8082);
            //hostConfig.
            HttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager();
            HttpConnectionManagerParams params = new HttpConnectionManagerParams();
            int maxHostConnections = 20;
            params.setMaxConnectionsPerHost(hostConfig, maxHostConnections);
            connectionManager.setParams(params);    
            HttpClient client = new HttpClient(connectionManager);
            Credentials creds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("scanner1", "scanner1");
            client.getState().setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, creds);
            client.setHostConfiguration(hostConfig);
            return client;




            PutMethod pm = new PutMethod("http://localhost:8082/webdav/scanner1_queque/uploader/image_" + i + ".txt");
            String text = "this is the document content";
            pm.setRequestBody(text);
            httpClient.executeMethod(pm);

[/code]



What I still don't manage to do is to create a new folder using the same API.
Can sombody give me a hint?

Thanks,
Florin

Did you already look at MkColMethod?

Hello Julien,
I will do that right away,

Thanks a lot,

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble searching for Content before or after a certain date in my Repository.

I have a attribute in my repository that's called "wiedervorlageAsDate" which is a Calendar Type.

Now when I do a Search on my Repository like the following:

I always get a full result-set when I use <= xs:dateTime or < and I always get a empty resultset when ever is use >= or >

Somehow it doesn't matter at all what the value I compare to is.

This is the query I am using:
/jcr:root/*/*/*[(@artikelDokument = 'false') and (@freigegeben = 'true') and (@aktiv = 'true') and (@wiedervorlageAsDate <= xs:dateTime('2008-02-25T14:18:26.516+01:00'))and (@tempContent = 'false')]/*//element(*, nt:unstructured) [(@menuid = '1067') and  ( @ocm_classname='de.gwvs.tos.commons.jackrabbit.domain.JCRMenuId')]

Anyone have an idea on what I am doing wrong?

There has to be a solution cause I can't imagine any use of jackrabbit if you can't compare dates that are stored inside.

Would be awesome if anyone had some hints for me!

Thx a lot in advance!

Wolfgang

No idea yet. Did you check the field is actually stored as DATE
property? What values are stored in those dates (it could be that they
actually are all before the date given in your query....)?

When you mention "<=", "<", ">=" and ">", do you mean you always used
the xs:dateTime() function for the comparison?

You have to use that function for comparing to dates and it must
always include the full ISO8601 string (date + "T" + time +
"Z"/offset), but your query above looks good in this respect.

Reards,
Alex
