Hi,

You can replace the evaluator associated with the edit action in the actions configuration (presuming you are using 1.3).

Look at the customisation guide for examples of configuring actions. You'll have to override the definition of the edit action in your own config file and provide an evaluator implementation that only returns true if the node matches your criteria.

That confirms my thoughts. I had altered the EditDocWebDavEvaluator.java to get the behavior I want, but I like you idea better of creating a separate custom evaluator!

thanks for the help!
