OpenOffice and WebDAV servlet (from Apache Tomcat)

Post by vinicius.carvalho »

I always used to call: Save As -> http://[host]/myWebApp/myWebDAVMapping/myFile.odt
I pass a web address for the URL argument. This aways works fine with OpenOffice until version 3.2.1.

The component that handles the requests in the server side is: org.apache.catalina.servlets.WebdavServlet.

This servlet is shipped in Tomcat (Web Conteiner). I just do the mapping in web.xml and my webapp now is able to comunicate
using the WebDAV protocol.

My problem is: OpenOffice is no longer able to comunicate with this servlet. What changed?

The Webdav servlet returns:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<multistatus xmlns="DAV:">
	<response>
		<href>/myWebAppContex/webdav/</href>
		<propstat>
			<prop>
				<creationdate>2013-02-26T18:09:39Z</creationdate>
				<displayname><![CDATA[]]></displayname>
				<resourcetype><collection/></resourcetype>
				<source></source>
				<supportedlock>
					<lockentry>
						<lockscope><exclusive/></lockscope>
						<locktype><write/></locktype>
						</lockentry><lockentry>
						<lockscope><shared/></lockscope>
						<locktype><write/></locktype>
					</lockentry>
				</supportedlock>
			</prop>
			<status>HTTP/1.1 200 OK</status>
		</propstat>
	</response>
</multistatus>
and it seems that OpenOffice can’t handle this response.

Anyone uses the WebDAV client of OpenOffice?
Or know something about this issue?
