Description

Hi,

We are using Sharepoint server 2007. We are connecting this using java webdave client API (i.e. JackRabbit 2.4). We have used basic authentication. Our requirement is to get a lock on files under sharepoint folder. before executing LocKMethod() we are fetching properties by using PROPFIND method.

We have writen following code snippet for th same :

String mpath = fixPathForProperEncoding(destinationUri);
DavPropertyNameSet nameSet = new DavPropertyNameSet();
nameSet.add(DavPropertyName.RESOURCETYPE);
HttpClient client = getHTTpClient(mpath);
DavMethod httpMethod = new PropFindMethod(mpath, DavConstants.PROPFIND_ALL_PROP, DavConstants.DEPTH_0);
int status = client.executeMethod(httpMethod);

We are getting staus as "207". but we are getting SUPPORTED_LOCK as "null".

My Questions :

1. what is the significance foe returning "NULL" for property "SUPPORTED_LOCK".

In sharepoint 2007 we have option for setting document library , in which ther is suboption called "allowed check out before editing file"

If we set this as true , our LockMethod() returnd "Forbidden" repsonse and sharepoint erorr says "File is not checked out"

If we set this options as false, out LockMethod returns "Success" but it returns "NULL" for token.

Kndly provide your opnion and guidence on this.

Regards,

Mandar
