Worked Example - Deployment to a WebDAV Server
This example shows how to use the TIBCO Business Studio Deployment Framework to create a plug-in for the deployment of a workspace file to a WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning) server. It also describes how to retrieve server objects, information about them, and how to implement operations performed on these objects.
WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol designed to facilitate editing of web resources. In this tutorial, we will create a deployment system based on a WebDAV folder (also called a collection in WebDAV terminology). The TIBCO Business Studio Deployment module will be any workspace file. During deployment, the file will be put to the selected WebDAV folder which in our example we will call “site”. We will also display content of the site underneath the server and implement a delete operation which you can use to remove deployed files.
