--- Comment #3 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
The way the WebDAV servlet is implemented, it just isn't designed to serve
arbitrary locations within the web app at arbitrary paths. Refactoring that
would be a lot of work.
Taking the use case here you want /WEB-INF/diforms to be accessible via WebDAV
at /diforms (and any similar example) then I would suggest the following
approach:
Use security constraints to limit WebDAV methods to the target URL:
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Block WebDAV</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>All</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<http-method-omission>GET</http-method-omission>
<http-method-omission>POST</http-method-omission>
<http-method-omission>OPTIONS</http-method-omission>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint />
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<display-name>Allow WebDAV</display-name>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Diforms</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/diforms/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
Use Resources to map the required resources to the desired target URL:
<Context>
<Resources>
<PreResources
className="org.apache.catalina.webresources.DirResourceSet"
base="${catalina.base}/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/diforms"
webAppMount="/diforms" />
</Resources>
</Context>
I am resolving this as WORKSFORME on the basis that I believe the configuration
approach above solves the general problem. If not, the users@ list is probably
the best place to continue the discussion as it is likely that a configuration
solution will exists even if the one above is insufficient.
