A few months ago, I was looking for examples of simple Java client code for accessing a WebDAV server. There are relatively few examples of any HTTP Java client code available on the internet, let alone WebDAV ! I put the following test program together (thanks also to the WebDAV list for a few pieces of advice). Rather than the overhead of a full XML parser, I wrote a simple routine to extract the elements I wanted from the returned responses. The example tests GET, PROPFIND, LOCK, PUT and UNLOCK, shows how to implement Basic Authentication and how to handle locktokens. As IE does not have a Java Console, I write messages out to the screen once each example has been called. No apologies for the code - it's messy but it worked for testing purposes ! It works over the Internet with Sharemation, but not mydocsonline as this does not seem to support the Lock command. To test this out on Sharemation, which supports WebDAV a) create a user account. b)add a file such as rfc2518.htm c) run from within your Java environment (or create an applet) with the following parameter properties set.... <param name=user value=username> <param name=pass value=password> <param name=page value="http://www.sharemation.com/~username/rfc2518.htm"> where username and password are the sharemation account username and password. The Java source can be downloaded from www.screenplan.com/webdav.html I'd welcome comments - please post any feedback to the working group, if appropriate, or mail me separately.
