Ok, i think i can use jackrabbit webdav client classes. Btw, i wish to
perform refactoring (little by little) along with test writing task. I hope
this is ok with you :)
Thanks.

We need
to detect the most common ones and handle these in the server
memory.
I think what you first need to do is write some good tests proving that
you are implementing the basic functions properly, including locking
(and versioning if it is necessary).
Agreed but i'm kind of not sure what sort of tests they should be. I JUnit testing is not what you meant. Please
advice me on this, i'm kind
of
not sure what sort of approach i should be taking
towards implementing
tests
but i agree with you that we should have tests.
My take:
- you should find some webdav client library that you can use in your
tests (DavExplorer or SLIDE) and use it to send simple commands to your
module.
Maybe the developers have better ideas ?
