RE: WebDAV Servlet Q (beginner)

Thanks Scott. I tried it, but unfortunately I got mixed results.

I'll send all the data I can because it might clarify things a bit more.

This is what the configuration file reads:

<web-app id='/cm/' app-dir='d:\projects\cm'>

<character-encoding>ISO-8859-1</character-encoding>

<cache-mapping url-pattern='/icons/*/*.gif' expires='24h'/>
<cache-mapping url-pattern='/icons/*/*.jpg' expires='24h'/>

        <classpath id='WEB-INF/classes' />
        <classpath id='d:\projects' />

<servlet servlet-name='action'
servlet-class='uy.com.swordfish.util.struts.FrontController' >
        <init-param config=/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml />
        <init-param validate=true />
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping url-pattern='/webdav/*'
                    servlet-name='com.caucho.http.webdav.WebDavServlet'>
  <init-param enable='write'/>
  <init-param secure='false'/>
  <init-param role='*'/>
</servlet-mapping>

<!--
<security-constraint url-pattern='/webdav/*' role-name='ADMIN'/>
-->

</web-app>

I "mounted" the webdav servlet as a folder successfully, and transferred
some USASCII files back and forth (using d&d) without problems.

I then proceeded to create a folder named Á (for Álvaro) which (confusingly)
was created but reported an error from Explorer.
The same situation happens everytime I double-click the folder to CD to it.
Resin's report is this:

Now as you by now realize I am not an expert in this, but isn't "%C1" a
urlEncoded() "Á" (&Atilde; I think).
I ask because I can see the URL in the web browser's "Address" field, and it
reads "http://localhost/cm/webdav/%C1"

Then when I try to transfer (d&d) a file named "Álvaro är", I got the same
old error:

Looking at the HEAD command, I see that the blank between "Álvaro" and "är"
has been changed into %20 - a URLEncoded blank AFAIK.

Well, that's all. I hope other people find this useful - I don't want to
bother anyone. And thanks very much for your answers.

Álvaro.
