哪个Java库可以用来通过WebDAV访问数据？

Question

That's the question: Which library can help me to access data available via WebDAV in my Java-programs? OpenSource is preferred.

Answer 1

I created a very easy to use java webdav client: http://sardine.googlecode.com/

This now moved to github : https://github.com/lookfirst/sardine

Answer 2

The now deprecated Apache Jakarta Slide project includes a Java WebDAV client library - but this project is retired due to the lack of a developer community.

Apache Jackrabbit is mentioned as alternative to Slide. You might want to check if its WebDAV library can be used instead.

If you just want to access files from a WebDAV repository, you can simply use a HTTP library as WebDAV builds upon HTTP. You only need a WebDAV client library if you want to use WebDAV features like locking, directory listings or access to properties (meta-data).

Answer 3

Libraries which are already around for a while are:

• Miltion WebDav
• JackRabbit WebDav
• Apache wink WebDav extension

Milton requires license when DAV 2 is required.

On WikiPedia you find aa small summary of available libraries.

Answer 4

http://sourceforge.net/projects/webdavclient4j/ is based on the retired Apache Jakarta Slide project's Java webdav client, and includes the VFS WebDAV provider. It is packaged with HttpClient 3.0.1.

Answer 5

Here's a better library to use for webdav operations. It's called Sardine hosted in Google Code.

https://github.com/lookfirst/sardine (was previously http://code.google.com/p/sardine )

I found it through here: Java: How to upload a file to a WebDAV server from a servlet?

Answer 6

从未使用它，但也许apache commons vfs ？

Answer 7

Apache的雅加达项目有一个WebDav构建工具包 ，它应该满足这种需求。
