Jetty, locking files with webDAV and the possibility to use other web servers
Hi, Our context: - Multiple authors create/modify content stored on BaseX concurrently (content is split into multiple small topic files) - Authors access content using Data Source in Oxygen Issue - No locking mechanism to prevent multiple authors to make changes to the same file at once (leads to overwriting of the other author's changes). Research done seems to indicate that Jetty doesn't support webdav locking. - We couldn't get it working. - Talks with Oxygen validated this conclusion: http://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/post22862.html#p22862 Since the documentation says that Jetty is the default server (as opposed to it being the only server?), we are thinking we could maybe use another one. - Did anyone ever attempt that? - What would the steps to doing so be (Documentation only says how to work with Jetty)? - Anything possible/known issues? Compatibility or otherwise? -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril@architextus.com (514) 572-0341
Hi France, Sure, BaseX can be run by basically any Java container. You simple have to deploy the WAR file (you can download this directly in the download section of basex.org), depending on your specifics of your server, mostly I guess you can either upload the war archive in some kind of interface or you simple move the WAR archive in a specific directory. You should check this with the server you would like to use. One popular container is tomcat and using BaseX together with tomcat works straight out of the box. You simply have the put the WAR file in the web directory. We run projects using tomcat successfully. Cheers, Dirk On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 7:19 PM, France Baril <france.baril@architextus.com>wrote:
