[xwiki-devs] Need help with WebDAV Support.

Hi Ludovic, I've been working on assembling a servlet using your webdav code, xwiki-core and other relevant dependencies. Although i could deploy the WebDAV servlet, I have few things I can't get pass, * What do I need to do so that once deployed the webdav servlet will use an instance of hsqldb ( like the stand-alone xwiki installation ) ? * Currently when I make a request to the servlet, I get the following error, 2008-04-02 20:21:19,597 [http://localhost:8080/DAVServer/] [http-8080-Processor24] ERROR [/DAVServer].[DAVServlet] - Servlet.service() for servlet DAVServlet threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.Utils.prepareContext(Utils.java:274) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavResourceImpl.getXWikiContext(XWikiDavResourceImpl.java:317) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavResourceImpl.<init>(XWikiDavResourceImpl.java:180) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.createResource(XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.java:96) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.createResource(XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.java:63) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavServlet.service(XWikiDavServlet.java:340) Tracking down reveals that the code in Utils, ComponentManager componentManager = (ComponentManager) engine_context.getAttribute(ComponentManager.class.getName()); context.put(ComponentManager.class.getName(), componentManager); Is throwing a null-pointer exception where componentManager is NULL. I believe this has something to with plexus, could tell me how to overcome this ? I'm sort of stuck at this point, any help is really appreciated. Btw, Ludovic, how were you able to test your code ? Thanks a lot. - Asiri
