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 :)
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).
You are correct about jackrabbit-webdav client classes. Seems like there are only a handful of classes<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-webdav/src/main/java/org/apache/jackrabbit/webdav/client/methods/>. But the jackrabbit webdav server library is a very complete implementation according to my understanding. But yes, the documentation is poor and managing cross-platform issues seems to be the hardest task.
Please be aware though that WebDAV compliance is sometimes quite hard.
True.
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.
I think for writing test cases we need a java based WebDAV client library. I will look into DAVExplorer ad see what i can find there. Thanks. - Asiri
