JAX-RS based WebDAV support

Dear Jersey Team,

 

I have developed partial support for WebDAV based RESTful web services based
on pure JAX-RS (not Jersey-dependent). It works pretty well and would be a
good starting point for some kind of "official" WebDAV support package. If
nobody else is working on something like that, I'd like to complete this
package and contribute it to java.net.

 

So I need to know two things of you:

 

(a) Whether my contribution would conflict with WebDAV plannings of somebody
else / the "official" Jersey plannings? If that would be the case, I'd see
no sense in completing my contribution, obviously.

 

(b) Whether my contribution shall become something like a "Jersey
Sub-Project" or whether I shall go my own ways and open an "unrelated"
top-level project?

 

Please send me your opinions! I don't want to create a concurrency situation
with Jersey, but I also don't want to wait for years until there is a
complete JAX-RS WebDAV support elsewhere.

 

Thanks

Markus
