Just a couple of days ago Magnolia 1.0 was announced. It's still not there, but they list WebDAV first in their roadmap. (which was just what I would look at to get what you want)

It's LGPL'ed standard-compliant J2EE application. Developed on SourceForge.

Hi,
I returned to a site that once impressed me, only to find out development stopped (http://m-arriaga.net/software/newdocms/). I wonder if other people are working on similar project. Googling and searching freshmeat did not turn up productive results. Anybody can provide further pointers to similar projects?
The idea is to organize documents in a database rather than using a directory system, so that there would be multiple ways to search for documents. This, of course, doesn't require a roject, it can be implemented with any SQL database. The smart thing is that it then becomes accessible from all applications, iow it looks and feels almost like a file system, but is really a database.
One could then search for that formatted document that reported on the 2002 conference somewhere in Hawai or California where the words drumstick appeared in twice, for example. This can now only be done by running find and waiting forever, while the suggested system would hold some metadata that would make searching faster (with the disadvantage that at filing time the user has to supply the metadata. But that's not so bad as some file types don't allow for easy integration of metadate. Pictures and pdfs are good examples, although I could also think of archived web pages and more.)
