Let me try to explain my question again.
Im not having problem with the webdav support which you get from tomcat. The
only problem is that it is a servlet which handles request correctly for webdav
client. It provides both upload of files, download of files and also deletion
of files.
The problem is that I am missing a JSP for it. So what happens is that when I
browse in to the repository with a browser then the only option I got is
traversing in the repository and also make downloads.
What I would like to have is a jsp which would work as a front end for
browsers. I should provide deletion, uploading, download and also traversing
around in the repository.
That is what I am missing and I just got the feeling that some one else already
built this jsp and have made in downloadable for the general public.
I have googled for it but did not find anything. I have just found full blown
CMS systems as jackrabbit and others which I do not want!
Regard from a Java Programmer!
