Features
The add-on provides the WebdavDocument
entity that should be used in your data model to reference files exposed via WebDAV.
WebdavSupport Annotation
The @WebdavSupport
annotation can be applied to fields of the WebdavDocument
type. By using this annotation, you have the ability to disable versioning for a specific field, as versioning is enabled by default.
For instance, consider the following example:
@JmixEntity
@Entity
public class WebdavDocumentWrapper {
@JoinColumn(name = "WEBDAV_DOCUMENT_ID")
@OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private WebdavDocument webdavDocument;
@JoinColumn(name = "DOC_WITHOUT_VERSION_ID")
@WebdavSupport(versioning = false)
@OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private WebdavDocument docWithoutVersion;
// getters and setters
}
In this example, docWithoutVersion
has versioning disabled, while webdavDocument
will have versioning enabled by default.
Document Links
The add-on generates links to documents, which can be posted on a website or shared with third parties. The link has the format: https://<host>:<port>/webdav/link/82b62377-7fd1-b75e-47fc-9ef4b8d67360
. When accessing the link, the user’s browser will prompt for credentials to access the document. Upon successful authentication, the document will open in an appropriate desktop application if it is installed on the user’s computer.
