That's right, but (a) if you rely on GlassFish features then your
application will not be portable among servers, while "WebDAV Support
for JAX-RS" is 100% portable, and (b) GlassFish only supports core
WebDAV, while "WebDAV Support for JAX-RS" supports also WebDAV Custom
Extensions (what are playing a major role in the WebDAV eco system), and
(c) GlassFish supports only the Servlet API, while "WebDAV Support for
JAX-RS" is supporting the much more comfortable JAX-RS API. Each user
should check these three points before deciding for / agains a WebDAV
solution.
