Hi Asiri, Sergiu,
Thanks for looking into this. I think I've figured it out thanks to your assistance.
Here's a WebDAV transcript when I connected directly to Tomcat on port 8080, e.g.
http://www.myhost.tld:8080/webdav/
(note that I have changed the domain in the transcript, as it's a private wiki)
Transmit 4.0.5 (x86_64) Session Transcript [Version
10.6.4 (Build 10F569)] (02/07/2010 13:58)
Connecting to www.myhost.tld
OPTIONS /webdav/ HTTP/1.1
PROPFIND /webdav/ HTTP/1.1
200 OK
In directory /webdav
PROPFIND /webdav/ HTTP/1.1
207 Multi-Status
tomcat.gif 1934 2009-07-27 22:24:34 +0100
tomcat-power.gif 2324 2009-07-27 22:24:34 +0100
index.html 2979 2009-07-27 22:24:34 +0100
Nothing appeared in catalina.out.
When I connected to http://www.myhost.tld:8080/xwiki/webdav/ , this happens:
Transmit 4.0.5 (x86_64) Session Transcript [Version
10.6.4 (Build 10F569)] (02/07/2010 14:01)
Connecting to www.myhost.tld
OPTIONS /xwiki/webdav/ HTTP/1.1
PROPFIND /xwiki/webdav/ HTTP/1.1
200 OK
Again, nothing appeared in catalina.out. But I couldn't see any files and my WebDAV
client gives an error:
Make sure your user name and password were entered
correctly and that the server supports WebDAV.
I didn't expect /xwiki/webdav/ to work, since the /xwiki/ part of the URL doesn't
exist in my servlet container.
The fix: I have removed the default Tomcat WebDAV web app, by deleting the folder
/var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/webdav .
Now, requests to /webdav go straight to XWiki, as Xwiki's web.xml suggests.
Thanks all!
Just one other quick question: where does Xwiki store logging information for its LDAP
connections? I'm trying to debug Active Directory integration, and there's nothing
in catalina.out.

Hi,
Normally XWiki / Tomcat works without much trouble when it comes to WebDAV.
Now I'm not sure if apache is doing anything before forwarding those
requests to tomcat.
Can we see your tomcat log files when the "Not Implemented" error occurs? Or
do you see any log entries in xwiki.log file that has anything to do with
webdav?
I suspect that the root helper servlet present on the default Jetty
distribution, the one answering the OPTIONS request, is not deployed.
Asiri, could you confirm that?
We should probably integrate it's functionality in the redirect servlet.
