WebDAV(4)Jackrabbit and Use SimpleWebdavServlet

1. Use SimpleWebDAVServlet
Change the web.xml to follow:

<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<!-- W E B D A V S E R V L E T -->
<!-- ====================================================================== -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Webdav</servlet-name>
<description>
The webdav servlet that connects HTTP request to the repository.
</description>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jackrabbit.j2ee.CustomerSimpleWebdavServlet</servlet-class>

<init-param>
<param-name>resource-path-prefix</param-name>
<param-value>/repository</param-value>
<description>
defines the prefix for spooling resources out of the repository.
</description>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>missing-auth-mapping</param-name>
<param-value>admin:admin</param-value>
<description>
Defines how a missing authorization header should be handled.
1) If this init-param is missing, a 401 response is generated.
This is suitable for clients (eg. webdav clients) for which
sending a proper authorization header is not possible if the
server never sent a 401.
2) If this init-param is present with an empty value,
null-credentials are returned, thus forcing an null login
on the repository.
3) If this init-param is present with the value 'guestcredentials'
java.jcr.GuestCredentials are used to login to the repository.
4) If this init-param has a 'user:password' value, the respective
simple credentials are generated.
</description>
</init-param>
<!--
Optional parameter to define the value of the 'WWW-Authenticate' header
-->
<!--
<init-param>
<param-name>authenticate-header</param-name>
<param-value>Basic realm="Jackrabbit Webdav Server"</param-value>
<description>
Defines the value of the 'WWW-Authenticate' header.
</description>
</init-param>
-->
<!--
Parameter used to configure behaviour of webdav resources such as:
- distinction between collections and non-collections
- resource filtering
-->
<init-param>
<param-name>resource-config</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/config.xml</param-value>
<description>
Defines various dav-resource configuration parameters.
</description>
</init-param>
<!--
Optional parameter to define the behaviour of the referrer-based CSRF protection
-->
<!--
<init-param>
<param-name>csrf-protection</param-name>
<param-value>host1.domain.com,host2.domain.org</param-value>
<description>
Defines the behaviour of the referrer based CSRF protection
1) If omitted or left empty the (default) behaviour is to allow only requests with
an empty referrer header or a referrer host equal to the server host
2) May also contain a comma separated list of additional allowed referrer hosts
3) If set to 'disabled' no referrer checking will be performed at all
</description>
</init-param>
-->
<load-on-startup>4</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Webdav</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/repository/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Visit the URL as follow:
http://localhost:8080/easywebdavserver/repository/default

error message:
DavResourceImpl.java:537 Error while importing resource: java.io.IOException: Access denied.

solution:
make sure we visit the WEBDAV server with username and password admin/admin.

2. Configuration in repository.xml
Configuration variables
${rep.home} : Repository home directory
${wsp.name}: Workspace name, only avaible in workspace configuration
${wsp.home}

Persistence configuration
File are dealed as binary file
FileInputStream xml_file = new FileInputStream("src/main/resources/test.xml");
Binary banary = session.getValueFactory().createBinary(xml_file);
xml.setProperty("src_main_resources_test_xml", banary);

session.save();

// Retrieve content
Node node = root.getNode("file/xml");
System.out.println(node.getPath());
System.out.println(node.getProperty("src_main_resources_test_xml").getBinary().toString());

<DataStore class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.data.FileDataStore">

<PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.bundle.BundleFsPersistenceManager">
<param name="blobFSBlockSize" value="0"/>
