I'm trying to use Webdrive, a WebDAV client for MS Windows, to access my Alfresco repository. I experience no errors in using the client, but file transfer to and from the repository generates the following error in alfresco.log:11:48:22,413 ERROR [org.alfresco.webdav.protocol] WebDAV method not imp

Hi gronfelt,

We got bitten by the same thing, so I implemented a do-nothing version of PROPPATCH into Alfresco's WebDAV which seems to satisfy Vista/7. You can find the patch here: https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-3651.

Basically, it's just a matter of compiling WebDAV.java, PropPatch.java and WebDAVServlet.java and updating (using jar) the resulting classes into the alfresco-remote-api-3.2.jar file under webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/lib (which you can then update in the alfresco.war file with jar as well so it is not blown away next time the webapp is redeployed). I unfortunately have been doing this by hand, so don't have any magical way of helping you accomplish it ("man javac" and "man jar" will help on Linux/Unix).

Cheers,
Johan
