It depends how your layer interposes the WebDAV runtime and what additional overhead it adds to overall request processing. For Servlet based implementation, there is Filter mechanism -- which is used very effectively (say for caching) without much performance hit. Hope this helps. --cvr murthy Rajiv A V wrote: > The server implmentation is fine but if we use a web-based application > then, to talk to the actual server that processes the webdav requests > we have to add an extra layer in the archectiure of the system.
