XI to webDAV

[Former Member]

Hi,

is it possible to write with a standard xi-adapter into a webDAV repository? If yes, with which adapter, and how?

Thanks,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

There is a standard HTTP adapter provided by XI, but this only supports the POST method and not the extended webDAV methods.

The best way to implement this using XI would be to use java proxy connectivity which will allow you to send messages using the Java Proxy Runtime.

HI,

WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol and generally provides an infrastructure for editing documents (such as HTML pages) across distributed Web development environments.

You could integrate XI with webDAV with the help Java Proxy. You need XI adapter for this. That would be sufficient.

In this connection, the mySAP.com application server plays the role of a WebDAV server. It is equipped with an appropriate WebDAV service.

A WebDAV service is a special HTTP request handler that establishes a remote connection based on the WebDAV protocol. The WebDAV service is implemented through a global ABAP class.

Thus probably you could have option of HTTP, ABAP proxy as well as SOAP communication also

Thanks for your answers!

I understood, that for writing only, I can use the http POST Methode. Can I authenticate also the user with the http adaptor?

Otherwise I can use the java or abap proxy which then connects the webDAV repository. Can you tell me which classes I have to use in java or abap to implement a webDAV connection?

Thank you,

Thomas
