Release 1.1 of WebDAV Support for JAX-RS

The WebDAV Project has just published an updated binary release of "WebDAV
Support for JAX-RS". Current version 1.1 is not adding new WebDAV features
but instead is an adaption to the recently published version 1.1 of the
JAX-RS specification (JSR311) to which the WebDAV team has added several
improvements. Thanks to the adoption of them in JAX-RS 1.1, the WebDAV
library itself could get simplified and stabilized. The moved items are
marked as deprecated. They will stay in the library until the next major
release, for backwards compatibility. If you want to be prepared for the
future, you are encouraged to replace the deprecated items by the new JAX-RS
1.1 replacements (just follow the advice in the deprecation note).

 

We hope that the library might be useful for you, as it implements WebDAV
1.0 completely and supports custom extensions, while extending JAX-RS's
flexibility and ease-of-use.

 

Please come back often to http://webdav.dev.java.net to check for the
project's further progress: Besides other things, we plan to support WebDAV
Versioning (DeltaV), SEARCH and BIND in the next releases.

 

Tip: If you want to access your WebDAV-based WebService from a Microsoft
Client, take a look at the "Microsoft Interop" subproject on the same web
site. It provided interoperability workarounds for a lot of Microsoft quirks
-- on the fly, without any code change!
