Right,  in the previous implementation LOCKing of collections was not supported. Currently it is not possible in exist-db to perform a user-lock on a collection. The webdav-function is a layer around the core, and so the this LOCK cannot be supported.

I made MiltonCollection.java to  implement the LOCK interface, I remember that the MacOsX finder requires it. I'll check what happens if I remove the empty implementation

Further: WHat is the message of your mail? Does the interface work for you (I could not test with davfs)?  What are your experiences with the renewed implementation?


Kind regards
