           Summary: Webdav Context path must be /*
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: Unknown
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Servlets:WebDAV
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The context path at which the webdav servlet is run must be
/*. That is, a web.xml entry like the following does
not work:

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>webdavsf</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/dav/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This is tested on 5.5.17

This is unfortunate if you want to have one WAR file
containing some other servlets and a dav area with
content autogenerated by the servlets.

I have made patches to "webdav servlet" on SourceForge, which is derived from
the apache code and has the same problem. My patches seem to fix it, and I
suspect that very similar patches would fix the original version. I am not a dav
expert though, and I haven't tested it on the original version, nor any locking
etc. So the patches described bel

There seem to be two reasons for this requirement for /* instead of, say /dav/*

(1) The internal path generated for a null entry is
wrong. This can be fixed by removing the following
lines from getRelativePath() [in DefaultServlet]:
            if (result == null)
                result = (String) request.getAttribute(
                                            Globals.INCLUDE_SERVLET_PATH_ATTR);

and
if (result == null) {
            result = request.getServletPath();
        }
I don't see how these lines could ever help in the WebDav context, though I am
not an expert in dav, and they may be important in some other use of 
DefaultServlet.

The second required modification that I posted for "webdav servlet" on
sourceforge has already been fixed (or something equivalent) in 5.5.17., so you
should be able to ignore that.
