Asiri,

I think webdav client classes are known to be:
- highly wished by many (really)
- not widespread enough or not mature (e.g. Slides' client seemed to  
have security issues)

Very fine if you can influence the jackrabbit client to actually be  
wide usage, last I checked it not have a sufficient webDAV client (or  
server? I don't remember, RMI was haunting then).

Please be aware though that WebDAV compliance is sometimes quite hard.
At least I know the mod_svn had to work individually for each client  
to make sure that their auto-commit feature works (and it still  
doesn't on MacOSX webDAV I think).

To my knowledge, the most old-fashioned and beloved client is Cadaver,  
you may want to make sure this one works at least.
