Description

It seems it is not possible to set properties on directories using Jackrabbit's Webdav implementation.

I tried both with a Java client (using the Sardine Webdav client) and the cadaver command line tool. In both cases I got a 207 status, with a nested 409 conflict.

$ cadaver http://localhost:8080/repository/default/

Setting property on `dir1': failed:
