Hi all,
I have activate WebDAV in our web application, as it is in tomcat. A filter
control the access to exactly one
folder inside the web application. This application is used only internal in
the intra-net and so it run just
over HTTP without any user permission. Open and save Office documents on this
WebDAV URI work
fine.
What I have to do, that I can mount this one directory to the normal explorer.
If I do it, like you see in
the Attachment, I get the message, that Windows has no access.
Do I have something to configure in the server, that directories can be mounted
or does the standard
WebDAV servlet do not have this feature?
Some versions of the Windows WebDAV client refuse to connect if the
server root is not WebDAV enabled.
Some recent versions of Windows also require that the server be HTTPS.
There is also this code that you might find helpful - although it hasn't
been updated in a while:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/filters/WebdavFixFilter.java?view=annotate
The general recommendation is to use a 3rd party WebDAV client. Check
the archives details (I think it is Chris that uses one).

There are so many differences between different versions of the MS DAV redirector, with so
many inconsistencies and bugs between them, that it is generally-speaking a big loss of
time to try to accomodate and support them all.
For example, you have already experienced one inconsistency : MS-Office uses one form of
DAV Redirector, while Windows Explorer uses a different "mini-redirector", and they have
different requirements. When your organisation in the future updates either MS-Office or
Windows, the behaviour will likely change.
Search "windows webdav" in Google for an overview.
