beginning to work with Jackrabbit 2.6.3 and commons httpclient 3.
I've written a simple webDav client to upload a file to a server and want to test it against jackrabbit's standalone server's default repository. Simply I just want to put a file in the default repository.
my httpclient connects and the method begins buffering my file. Trouble is, I can't seem to work what URL I should point my http method at to correctly put it in the repository. The standalone server is running on:
http://localhost:8080.
I seem to either get a 405 PUT not supported or 404 or 403 or the even more curious "repository '/' does not begin with '/default' for all the urls I've tried. I can see the default repository content if I point my browser at:
http://localhost:8080/repository/default/
Simply, my question is, what is the url to do this with a PutMethod? As rudimentary as that sounds.
I've included some truncated code for the class I've written, specifically the method I'm working with at the moment, I think it should be enough to show my approach is correct.
public void insertFile(byte[] content, String id) throws Exception {
PutMethod httpMethod = new PutMethod("http://localhost:8080/repository/default/");
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(content);
FileMetaData meta = new FileMetaData();
meta.address = destUri;
meta.id = id;
meta.mimeType = Files.probeContentType(Paths.get(meta.address));
RequestEntity requestEntity = new InputStreamRequestEntity(is, meta.mimeType);
httpMethod.setRequestEntity(requestEntity);
try {
int statusCode = client.executeMethod(httpMethod);
if (statusCode != HttpStatus.SC_OK) System.err.println("Method failed: " + httpMethod.getStatusLine());
byte[] responseBody = httpMethod.getResponseBody();
System.out.println(new String(responseBody));
} catch (HttpException e) {
System.err.println("Fatal protocol violation: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Fatal transport error: " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
httpMethod.releaseConnection();
}
}
I'm sure it's a simple answer, but trawling the docs don't seem to show up any resources or tutorials relating to this. Any help appreciated.
