Tomcat "handles" it just fine -- if you implement it in your servlet :-)
Options conveys not only whether a resource is dav-enabled and the
class of dav support, but it has a well-defined xml response body for a
number of ACL and DeltaV properties, all of which needs to be handled by
the application, not tomcat. You are going to have to override it
anyway to specify the DAV: header, at a minimum. Tomcat can't know
whether your application supports dav locking or not, for instance.

Interesting.
Well, Remy is the expert in webdav, but I guess you'll need to talk
with him on the users list :-)
I suppose the default servlet could handle 'options', since it's part
of the standard, but for regular servlets there is nothing to be done,
it's up to them to implement whatever methods they want.

Costin,
I'm tweaking with internet explorer and his web folder feature (access to
webdav resource).
When accessing a webdav resource, ie fire a lot of "OPTIONS" requests,
not only to the specified url but as you see from my example even to the
"/" uri
which is obviously catched by the default servlet and not by the webdav
servlet.

I'm curious - why would you need the options method ?
Obviously, as you found, tomcat does not support it ( and many other
servers ), and I never heard of any use of it, even if it is in the
spec.
Well, in theory servlets could respond to 'options' method if they
choose to - and so could the default servlet.
