WebDav Save Document

I am evaluating Xopus and I am having a problem saving to my webdav system. (The WebDav system is Alfresco)

I am running your SaveUsingWebDAV in webdav.js. When the save method it called it returns the proper URI to save the document to but the xmlDocument passed in is empty and there is no changes saved to the document in the WebDav system.

I am using the following function:

// This function is called when the save button is pressed.
//
// Keeps the lock.
function saveAndKeepLock(uri, xmlDocument)
{
alert("url="+uri);
alert("xmldoc="+xmlDocument);
var lockObj = WebDAVTools.putXML(uri, xmlDocument, "UTF-8", true);
if (lockObj.locked == false)
alert(lockObj.message);
}


Again, the uri is correct. The xmlDocument is empty and no changes are saved to the document.

Please advise.

NOTE: I sent the issue to support so it is a duplicate. I appoligize for the duplicate but wanted this on the forum as well.

Webdav saving

It is possible that the xmldocument you are saving to is locked to a specific owner.

For example if you use windows and manually copy a document and trie to edit it through your webserver it will say that you are not the owner of the document.

You can solve this by giving your server write access to your project.

Our webdav tools uses propfind to check the ownership and if you are able to lock the file. You can find these props by creating a small js file wich uses xmlhttp tp send the following:

YourHttpReqest.open("PROPFIND", URI, false)
YourHttpReqest.send("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>
<D:propfind xmlns:D=\"DAV:\">
<D:prop>
<D:supportedlock/>
</D:prop>
</D:propfind>");

What is your message of alert(lockObj.message) ?

Thank you so much for your responses :-)

Thank you for the info on the XMLDomDocument, I did not realize it was a Microsoft object. I am good to go with that.

I am working on figuring out the ownership problem but you did hit the nail on the head. The message back is "You are not the owner of this document" and the success is false. I am looking into how to fix it.

One Item to note though is the LockObj.locked does not work in the javascript. In the debugger is shows the locked property as lockObj.?A with a type of boolean and a value of false.

I can send you a screenshot from the debugger if you let me know where. But as a result it cannot check the locked property of the LockObj.

This is my header response:

I do not see an apoquelocktoken:

What am I missing here?

Thank you so much for your effort on this issue but I have decided to create a post servlet and use the HTTPTools.xmlPost instead of the WebDAV tools and it works perfectly! :-)

I changed partly because I couldn't quite figure out how to get Alfresco configured properly and secondly I decided, from an architecture and usage standpoint, I like the post servlet better.

Let me know if there anything else you need. I have another question but I will post it in a new thread.
