[Jakarta-slide Wiki] Update of "CreateDirectoryTreeInJava" by DarrenHartford

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta-slide Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by DarrenHartford:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-slide/CreateDirectoryTreeInJava

New page:
Purpose:

Solve the problem of heavily nested paths when using MKCOL to create a directory structure with WebDAV.

i.e.  store a file under /COMPANYA/2006/08/test.file  requires multiple MKCOL commands as Slide needs the parent tree to exist before creating children.

Below is a java method that takes a jakarta WebdavResource and the path (such as "/COMPANYA/2006/08/") and creates the entire tree structure.


	private static String mkallcol(WebdavResource wdr, String path) throws Exception{
		if (path != null){
			if (path.length() > 1){
				path.replace('\\','/');
				
				//Now, break up path
				java.util.StringTokenizer t = new java.util.StringTokenizer(path,"/");
				String strsub = "/";
				int count = t.countTokens();
				//check each token EXCEPT last token, last token is filename
		        while ((t.hasMoreTokens()) && (count > 1)){
					strsub = strsub +  t.nextToken() + "/";
					 	wdr.mkcolMethod(wdr.getPath() + strsub);
					count--;
				}
				return wdr.getPath() + strsub + t.nextToken();
			}else{
				return "";
			}
		}else{
			return "";
		}
