Tomcat
WebDAV support

This is the home page for the webdav context. This page is located at:

- $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/webdav/index.html

Tomcat includes built-in support for WebDAV level 2, which enables remote authoring of the website. You can test these capabilities using a WebDAV client like MS WebFolders (included with IE 4.0 and up), MS Office 2000, DAV Explorer (others are listed on the webpages linked below), and point to the /webdav path of the server.

This test context is DAV enabled, but has been set up in read-only mode for safety reasons. It can be put in read-write mode by editing the web application descriptor file (WEB-INF/web.xml).

Working WebDAV clients include :

- Adobe GoLive 5.0 (and other WebDAV-enabled Adobe products, like Photoshop)
- Cadaver 0.15
- DAV Explorer 0.60 and 0.70
- Internet Explorer 5 (Windows 2000)
- Internet Explorer 5.5 (Windows 2000)
- Jakarta Slide 1.0 WebDAV client library
- Office 2000 (Windows 2000)
- SkunkDAV 1.0
