Hi,
I'm about to set up a webdav server on a stock Tomcat 8.0.9 (RHEL 6.5 x86_64). To do so, I installed a dummy application with the web.xml attached to this message, altered the conf/tomcat-users.xml and started the tomcat server.
Now when uploading a file it doesn't show up immediately. Which is quite confusing for an application that does a PROPFIND right after PUTting the file, which results in a 404. Or, even worse, in a 500 when trying to MOVE or COPY the file.
Example: (1)
dav:/webdav/> ls Listing collection `/webdav/': collection is empty. dav:/webdav/> put testfile.bin Uploading testfile.bin to `/webdav/testfile.bin': Progress: [=============================>] 100,0% of 102400 bytes succeeded. dav:/webdav/> propget testfile.bin Fetching properties for `testfile.bin': failed: 404 Not Found
[now I'm waiting for a couple of seconds]
dav:/webdav/> propget testfile.bin Fetching properties for `testfile.bin': DAV: creationdate = 2014-07-01T16:29:35Z DAV: displayname = testfile.bin DAV: getlastmodified = Tue, 01 Jul 2014 16:29:35 GMT DAV: getcontentlength = 102400 DAV: getcontenttype = application/octet-stream DAV: getetag = W/"102400-1404232175000" DAV: resourcetype = DAV: source = DAV: supportedlock = <DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockscope><DAV:exclusive></DAV:exclusive></DAV:lockscope><DAV:locktype><DAV:write></DAV:write></DAV:locktype></DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockscope><DAV:shared></DAV:shared></DAV:lockscope><DAV:locktype><DAV:write></DAV:write></DAV:locktype></DAV:lockentry>
(2)
dav:/webdav/> rm testfile.bin Deleting `testfile.bin': succeeded. dav:/webdav/> ls Listing collection `/webdav/': collection is empty. dav:/webdav/> put testfile.bin testfile.bin.tmp Uploading testfile.bin to `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp': Progress: [=============================>] 100,0% of 102400 bytes succeeded. dav:/webdav/> move testfile.bin.tmp testfile.bin Moving `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp' to `/webdav/testfile.bin': failed: 500 Internal Server Error
[again, waiting for a couple of seconds]
dav:/webdav/> move testfile.bin.tmp testfile.bin Moving `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp' to `/webdav/testfile.bin': succeeded.
Why is tomcat behaving like this and how do I configure it to allow immediate file operations after upload?
AFAICT this is not a client issue. I've tested with cadaver, the Gnome and KDE file browsers and owncloud.
Kind regards, Philippe
