Disable WebDAV?

Classic Servoy
1

I’m working a client that requires that WebDAV be disabled on the server - as it’s going outside the DMZ.

Does anyone know how to do this on the app server?

Thanks!

Bob

You can disable the WebdavServlet.
Don’t know about the consequences for Servoy clients though, although I doubt it’s used internally.

Have a look at /application_server/server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml you will see that this is where all Servoy servlets are defined.

Basically all you need to do is to comment that part (using XML comments):

And that part a little further down:

Then restart your Servoy app server.

Patrick - THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Would have never figured that out on my own… :)

there is no problem doing that, servoy doesn’t use webdav itself

The only issue is that once you change the settings, restart the server - nothing works. :shock:

You only get a “resource not found” error - and you can’t even get into the admin.

Any other ideas?

Just tried it here and it works just fine! (in Servoy 5.2.x and 6.0.x)
You must have made a typo somewhere or you have disabled the wrong servlet/servlet-mapping.

Here’s my web.xml for you to check.
