Initially, the WebDAV plug-in was tested against every WebDAV server
implementation we could put our hands on. This included our own document
repository (XDR), of course, but also IIS, Alfresco, etc.
Nowadays the WebDAV plug-in is tested only against Apache
httpd+mod_dav+mod_dav_fs.
Have people had good luck with Apache mod_dav_svn and/or mod_dav_fs ?
Our WebDAV plug-in works fine with Apache httpd+mod_dav+mod_dav_fs.
We have tested our plug-in against mod_dav_svn several years ago. While
it worked OK, mod_dav_svn auto-versioning created one new version each
time a file was saved by XMLmind XML Editor, and this, even when this
file was locked.
Has anyone tried using it with Jackrabbit?
No, not us, XMLmind.
In principle, our WebDAV plug-in should work fine with any WebDAV
compliant server. In practice, this is not the case because we have
found WebDAV servers to be very often bug-ridden (e.g. Alfresco's).
If you want to test our WebDAV plug-in against ``unknown servers'' such
as Jackrabbit and find a problem, please do not forget to start XXE with
-DXXE_DAV_TRACE=1 and to send us the trace printed on the console. This
is the only way for us to find out who is the culprit: the server or the
client?

If we were to simply use a shared directory mounted on multiple people's
computers, what techniques if any would XMLEditor use to lock the file while it
is being edited?
In such case, if you turn on option "Lock documents stored on the local
filesystem" (see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/openOptions.html),
XXE will use advisory, application-level, locks.
We used to use system locks on Windows but this implementation has been
abandoned because it proved to be annoying in several useful cases
(don't remember which ones).
