I am looking at using the Milton java webdav library in a project I am working on and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it. I am looking adding a webdav interface to my application.

We have used the Milton library before and found it both easy to work with and well suited for adding a WebDAV interface to a web application.

I've written a blog article that goes over the details of exposing a scratchpad text file though WebDAV from a web application, which you may be able to use to extrapolate to your own needs.

BTW, I'm the primary author of milton and I respond to one or two questions each day from different people using the library. And the milton website gets around 100 unique visitors per day, so there seems to be fairly active usage.

Ping. Milton's still active :)

I found this project to be really helpful in getting a webdav executable up and running:

https://github.com/TheMagican/webdav-embedded-server

I tested that I could mount a directory on Mac and it works.

The builder is Gradle-based but I posted a pom.xml that works for me.

Free version is read-only
