Re: web.xml's JSP interception

Paul, Miguel,

I'm quite sure this is the way to go if you only want to expose /files over
webdav. I've been playing around with this for some time now, and haven't
run into troubles for that matter.
What I don't know is howto set ACL when only exposing /files over webdav.

rgrds,

Waling
