You don't have to do this. The Ant tasks use the manager servlet. The manager servlet does not use the webdav servlet. The webdav servlet is in a separate web-app all of it's own. As can be seen from the source, nothing in either the Ant tasks or the manager servlet expects the webdav servlet or application to be present. The deploy task does require the readonly parameter of the default servlet to be configured so PUT works. It is possible that someone may have added the WEBDAV servlet to the manager application as an alternative method of enabling PUT. I can see how this might work but it certainly isn't the standard way of doing things neither have I tested it. I would also have security concerns about the using the webdav servlet in this way and would want to check exactly what was and wasn't exposed for edit in such a configuration. I am not saying it couldn't be secured, just that I would want to be careful. >> 2. To what fault in the WEBDAV are you referring?

If there is an issue with webdav and images I would very much like to know about it since it hasn't appeared in any of my testing.
