Class Webdav

java.lang.Object
  extended by ipworks.Webdav

public class Webdav
extends java.lang.Object

The WebDAV Bean implements an easy-to-use interface to the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV).

The bean allows remote management of resource properties and collection , including creation, deletion, listing, copying, and moving. Resource locking is also supported.

The ListDirectory and FindProperties methods will list the properties of a resource collection or resource, and a DirList or ResourceProperties event will be fired for each matching resource.

Depth is used to determine which resources or properties are retrieved from the server. A depth of ResourceOnly will return only the resource associated with ResourceURI , or its properties. A depth of Infinity will return all resources contained within hierarchy, or their collective properties.

Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return a HTTP 403 Forbidden response.

A number of operations can be performed on resources by using the various methods of the bean. Please refer to the individual methods for more information.

WebDAV allows non-standard properties to be specified through XML namespaces.

The namespaces are provided in the Namespaces collection , which is filled automatically when retrieving DAV responses, but must be filled manually when requesting non-standard properties.

public Webdav(java.lang.String runtimeLicense)
Creates an instance of Webdav Bean with specified run-time license.

Method Detail

getAccept

public java.lang.String getAccept()
A list of acceptable MIME types for the request.

If this property contains a non-empty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.

The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.


setAccept

public void setAccept(java.lang.String accept)
               throws IPWorksException
A list of acceptable MIME types for the request.

If this property contains a non-empty string, an HTTP Accept header is added to the request.

The Accept header is used for content negotiation. It provides the server with a comma-separated list of MIME types that are acceptable for its response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getAuthorization

public java.lang.String getAuthorization()
The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP bean can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the bean.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".


setAuthorization

public void setAuthorization(java.lang.String authorization)
                      throws IPWorksException
The Authorization string to be sent to the server.

If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.

A common use for this property is to specify OAuth authorization string.

This property is provided so that the HTTP bean can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the bean.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

Throws:
IPWorksException

getAuthScheme

public int getAuthScheme()
The authentication scheme to use when server authorization is required.

This property will tell the bean which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.

This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.

By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the bean will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4) or authNegotiate (5), digest, NTLM or Negotiate authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2) then the authorization token must be supplied through Authorization property.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6) then the authorization string must be supplied through Authorization property.

Note that, if you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.

For security purposes, changing the value of this property will cause the bean to clear the values of User , Password and Authorization .


setAuthScheme

public void setAuthScheme(int authScheme)
                   throws IPWorksException
The authentication scheme to use when server authorization is required.

This property will tell the bean which type of authorization to perform when the User and Password properties are set.

This property should be set to authNone (3) when no authentication is to be performed.

By default, this property is authBasic (0), and if the User and Password properties are set, the bean will attempt basic authentication. If AuthScheme is set to authDigest (1), authNtlm (4) or authNegotiate (5), digest, NTLM or Negotiate authentication will be attempted instead.

If AuthScheme is set to authProprietary (2) then the authorization token must be supplied through Authorization property.

If AuthScheme is set to authOAuth (6) then the authorization string must be supplied through Authorization property.

Note that, if you set the Authorization property and AuthScheme is not authProprietary or authOAuth, the AuthScheme will be set automatically to authProprietary (2) by the control.

For security purposes, changing the value of this property will cause the bean to clear the values of User , Password and Authorization .

Throws:
IPWorksException

isConnected

public boolean isConnected()
Shows whether the bean is connected.

This property is used to determine whether or not the bean is connected to the remote host.


setConnected

public void setConnected(boolean connected)
                  throws IPWorksException
Shows whether the bean is connected.

This property is used to determine whether or not the bean is connected to the remote host.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getCookies

public HTTPCookieList getCookies()
Collection of cookies.

This property contains a collection of cookies. To add cookies to outgoing HTTP requests, add cookies (of type httpcookie ) to this collection.

To see cookies that are set by the server, use the SetCookie event, which displays the cookies and their properties as set by the server. Those cookies are also added to Cookies .

MaxHTTPCookies can be used to control the maximum number of cookies saved.

This collection is indexed from 0 to size - 1.


getDepth

public int getDepth()
The depth associated with the current operation.

When performing certain operations on resource collections, the bean will use Depth to instruct the server on how deep to operate within the collection. Depth is an enumerated type with the following possible values:

dpUnspecified (0)
The server will use the protocol default depth for the operation (this is normally "infinity").
dpResourceOnly (1)
The server will operate only on the collection resource URI, and not on any of its internal member resources.
dpImmediateChildren (2)
The server will operate on the collection resource URI and all of its immediate member resources (but on none of their member resources).
dpInfinity (3)
The server will recursively operate on the target resource URI and all of its internal member URIs through all levels of the collection hierarchy.

Depth is used when performing the following operations: LockResource , MoveResource CopyResource , FindProperties , PatchProperties , and ListDirectory .


setDepth

public void setDepth(int depth)
              throws IPWorksException
The depth associated with the current operation.

When performing certain operations on resource collections, the bean will use Depth to instruct the server on how deep to operate within the collection. Depth is an enumerated type with the following possible values:

dpUnspecified (0)

The server will operate on the collection resource URI and all of its immediate member resources (but on none of their member resources).
dpInfinity (3)
The server will recursively operate on the target resource URI and all of its internal member URIs through all levels of the collection hierarchy.

Depth is used when performing the following operations: LockResource , MoveResource CopyResource , FindProperties , PatchProperties , and ListDirectory .

Throws:
IPWorksException

getFirewall

public Firewall getFirewall()
A set of properties related to firewall access.

This is a Firewall type property which contains fields describing the firewall through which the bean will attempt to connect.


setFirewall

public void setFirewall(Firewall firewall)
                 throws IPWorksException
A set of properties related to firewall access.

This is a Firewall type property which contains fields describing the firewall through which the bean will attempt to connect.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getFollowRedirects

public int getFollowRedirects()
Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the bean returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

If this property is set to frSameScheme (2), the new URL is retrieved automatically only if the URLScheme is the same, otherwise the bean throws an exception.

Note that following the HTTP specification, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), automatic redirects will be performed only for 'GET' or 'HEAD' requests. Other methods could potentially change the conditions of the initial request and create security vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, if either the new URL server and port are different than the existing one, User and Password are also reset to empty, unless this property is set to frAlways (1), in which case the same credentials are used to connect to the new server.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g. new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the bean throws an exception instead.


setFollowRedirects

public void setFollowRedirects(int followRedirects)
                        throws IPWorksException
Determines what happens when the server issues a redirect.

This property determines what happens when the server issues a redirect. Normally, the bean returns an error if the server responds with an "Object Moved" message. If this property is set to frAlways (1), the new URL for the object is retrieved automatically every time.

A Redirect event is fired for every URL the product is redirected to. In the case of automatic redirections, the Redirect event is a good place to set properties related to the new connection (e.g. new authentication parameters).

The default value is frNever (0). In this case, redirects are never followed, and the bean throws an exception instead.

Throws:
IPWorksException

isIdle

public boolean isIdle()
The current status of the component.

Idle will be False if the component is currently busy (communicating and/or waiting for an answer), and True at all other times.


getLocalFile

public java.lang.String getLocalFile()
The path to a local file used for DAV operations.

After a GetResource operation, LocalFile will contain the contents of the resource.

For a PutResource operation, LocalFile contains the data that will be uploaded to the server.

If LocalFile is empty then the received data is provided through the Transfer event.


setLocalFile

public void setLocalFile(java.lang.String localFile)
                  throws IPWorksException
The path to a local file used for DAV operations.

After a GetResource operation, LocalFile will contain the contents of the resource.

For a PutResource operation, LocalFile contains the data that will be uploaded to the server.

If LocalFile is empty then the received data is provided through the Transfer event.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLocalHost

public java.lang.String getLocalHost()
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

If the bean is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.


setLocalHost

public void setLocalHost(java.lang.String localHost)
                  throws IPWorksException
The name of the local host or user-assigned IP interface through which connections are initiated or accepted.

The LocalHost property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

If the bean is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

NOTE: LocalHost is not persistent. You must always set it in code, and never in the property window.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLockOwner

public java.lang.String getLockOwner()
The principle that owns the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockOwner may be set to the name of a principle or group of principles that will own the lock. If no owner is specified, the server will automatically associate the lock with the requesting principle. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockOwner property to the correct value returned in the server's response.


setLockOwner

public void setLockOwner(java.lang.String lockOwner)
                  throws IPWorksException
The principle that owns the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockOwner may be set to the name of a principle or group of principles that will own the lock. If no owner is specified, the server will automatically associate the lock with the requesting principle. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockOwner property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLockScope

public java.lang.String getLockScope()
The scope of the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockScope may be set to the type of scope needed for the lock. Currently the bean will only allow two types of scopes to be requested:

"exclusive"
The lock belongs exclusively to the requesting principle. No other principle may modify the locked resource URI.
"shared"
The locked resource may not be modified by non-trusted principles. Users who have access rights, however, may request a shared lock which they can then use to modify or operate on the resource.

If no scope is specified, the protocol default scope, "exclusive", will be requested. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockScope property to the correct value returned in the server's response.


setLockScope

public void setLockScope(java.lang.String lockScope)
                  throws IPWorksException
The scope of the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockScope may be set to the type of scope needed for the lock. Currently the bean will only allow two types of scopes to be requested:

"exclusive"
The lock belongs exclusively to the requesting principle. No other principle may modify the locked resource URI.
"shared"
The locked resource may not be modified by non-trusted principles. Users who have access rights, however, may request a shared lock which they can then use to modify or operate on the resource.

If no scope is specified, the protocol default scope, "exclusive", will be requested. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockScope property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLockTimeout

public int getLockTimeout()
The time to live for the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockTimeout may be set to a specific amount of time needed for the locked operation to take place. The timeout is used to determine how long the lock may exist before the server automatically unlocks the resource URI. If Timeout of 0 is specified, the server will use a default timeout. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockTimeout property to the correct value returned in the server's response.


setLockTimeout

public void setLockTimeout(int lockTimeout)
                    throws IPWorksException
The time to live for the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockTimeout may be set to a specific amount of time needed for the locked operation to take place. The timeout is used to determine how long the lock may exist before the server automatically unlocks the resource URI. If Timeout of 0 is specified, the server will use a default timeout. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockTimeout property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLockTokens

public java.lang.String getLockTokens()
The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockTokens may be set to the tokens returned by a previous lock operation. This is useful when renewing a timeout. The server will respond with a new timeout value, which will be stored in LockTimeout . If the lock request is not a lock refresh, LockTokens must be empty, and will be parsed out of the server response after a successful call to the LockResource method.


setLockTokens

public void setLockTokens(java.lang.String lockTokens)
                   throws IPWorksException
The lock string to be used when submitting operations on a locked resource.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockTokens may be set to the tokens returned by a previous lock operation. This is useful when renewing a timeout. The server will respond with a new timeout value, which will be stored in LockTimeout . If the lock request is not a lock refresh, LockTokens must be empty, and will be parsed out of the server response after a successful call to the LockResource method.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getLockType

public java.lang.String getLockType()
The type of the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockType may be set to the type of lock being requested. Currently, the bean only supports requesting locks of type "write", although the protocol defines an optional "read" lock. After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockType property to the correct value returned in the server's response.


setLockType

public void setLockType(java.lang.String lockType)
                 throws IPWorksException
The type of the current resource lock.

Before a call to the LockResource method, LockType may be set to the type of lock being requested.

After a successful LockResource operation, the bean will set the LockType property to the correct value returned in the server's response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getNamespaces

public XMLNamespaceList getNamespaces()
Collection of namespaces in the current stack.

WebDAV allows non-standard properties to be specified through XML namespaces.

The collection is filled automatically when retrieving DAV responses, but must be filled manually when requesting non-standard properties.

If the DAV URI is not found in the namespaces collection, it will be added as the default namespace when generating a request. The DAV namespace URI is "DAV:".

This collection is indexed from 0 to size - 1.


getOtherHeaders

public java.lang.String getOtherHeaders()
Other headers as determined by the user (optional).

getTimeout

public int getTimeout()
A timeout for the bean.

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the bean will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The bean will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not "freeze" and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the bean throws an exception.

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts , i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

Optionally, the behavior of the bean may be changed to absolute timeouts , i.e. the bean will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.

config

public java.lang.String config(java.lang.String configurationString)
                        throws IPWorksException
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Config is a generic method available in every bean. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the bean.

Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the bean, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY , you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE") , where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY") . The value will be returned as a string.

The bean accepts one or more of the following configuration settings . Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the bean, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

WebDAV Configuration Settings

EncodeURL
If set to true the URL will be encoded by the bean
The default value is false. If set to true the URL passed to the bean will be URL encoded.
MaxResources
Instructs bean to save the amount of resources specified that are returned by the server after a ListDirectory call has been made
This config should be set when the Resources collection will be populated after a call to ListDirectory . This value represents the number of resources that are to be saved in the collection .To save all items to the collection , set this config to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any to the collection . The default for this config is -1, so all items will be included in the collection .

NOTE: This functionality is only available in Java and .NET.

HTTP Configuration Settings

AcceptEncoding
Used to tell the server which types of content encodings the client supports
When AllowHTTPCompression is true, the bean adds an "Accept-Encoding: " header to the request being sent to the server. By default, this header's value is "gzip, deflate". This config allows you to change the value of the "Accept-Encoding" header. NOTE: The bean only supports gzip and deflate decompression algorithms.
AllowHTTPCompression
This property enables HTTP compression for receiving data
This is the same as the AllowHTTPCompression property. This setting is exposed here for use by beans that inherit from HTTP.
Authorization
The Authorization string to be sent to the server
If the Authorization property contains a non-empty string, an Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys Authorization information to the server.This property is provided so that the HTTP bean can be extended with other security schemes in addition to the authorization schemes already implemented by the bean.

The AuthScheme property defines the authentication scheme used. In the case of HTTP Basic Authentication (default), every time User and Password are set, they are Base64 encoded, and the result is put in the Authorization property in the form "Basic [encoded-user-password]".

BytesTransferred
Contains the number of bytes transferred in the response data
Returns the raw number of bytes from the HTTP response data, prior to the component processing the data, whether it is chunked and/or compressed. This returns the same value as the Transfer event, by BytesTransferred .
EncodeURL
If set to true the URL will be encoded by the bean
The default value is false. If set to true the URL passed to the bean will be URL encoded.
GetOn302Redirect
If set to true the bean will perform a GET on the new location
The default value is false. If set to true the bean will perform a GET on the new location. Otherwise it will use the same HTTP method again.
HTTPVersion
The version of HTTP used by the bean
Possible values include "1.0", and "1.1". The default is "1.1".
IfModifiedSince
A date determining the maximum age of the desired document
This is the same as the IfModifiedSince property. This setting is exposed here for use by beans that inherit from HTTP.
KeepAlive
Determines whether the HTTP connection is closed after completion of the request
If true, the component will not send the 'Connection: Close' header. The absence of the Connection header indicates to the server that HTTP persistent connections should be used if supported. Note that not all server support persistent connections. You may also explicitly add the Keep-Alive header to the request headers by setting OtherHeaders to 'Connection: Keep-Alive'. If false, the connection will be closed immediately after the server response is received.The default value for KeepAlive is false.

MaxHeaders
Instructs bean to save the amount of headers specified that are returned by the server after a Header event has been fired
This config should be set when the TransferredHeaders collection is to be populated when a Header event has been fired. This value represents the number of headers that are to be saved in the collection.To save all items to the collection , set this config to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any to the collection . The default for this config is -1, so all items will be included in the collection .

NOTE: This functionality is only available in Java and .NET.

MaxHTTPCookies
Instructs bean to save the amount of cookies specified that are returned by the server when a SetCookie event is fired
This config should be set when populating the Cookies collection as a result of an HTTP request. This value represents the number of cookies that are to be saved in the collection .To save all items to the collection , set this config to -1. If no items are wanted, set this to 0, which will not save any to the collection . The default for this config is -1, so all items will be included in the collection .

NOTE: This functionality is only available in Java and .NET.

MaxRedirectAttempts
Limits the number of redirects that are followed in a request
When FollowRedirects is set to any value besides frNever the bean will follow redirects until this maximum number of redirect attempts are made. The default value is 20. \011
ProxyAuthorization
The authorization string to be sent to the proxy server
Similar to the Authorization config, but for proxy authorization. If this config contains a non-empty string, a Proxy-Authorization HTTP request header is added to the request. This header conveys proxy authorization information to the server. If User and Password are specified, this value is calculated using the algorithm specified by AuthScheme .
ProxyAuthScheme
The authorization scheme to be used for the proxy
This is the same as AuthScheme . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Proxy properties.
ProxyPassword
A password if authentication is to be used for the proxy
This is the same as Password . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Proxy properties.
ProxyPort
Port for the proxy server (default 80)
This is the same as Port . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Proxy properties.
ProxyServer
Name or IP address of a proxy server (optional)
This is the same as Server . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Proxy properties.
ProxyUser
A user name if authentication is to be used for the proxy
This is the same as User . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Proxy properties.
TransferredDataLimit
The maximum number of incoming bytes to be stored by the bean
The default value is 65,536, allowing the bean to accumulate the first 64K of data into the TransferredData buffer.If TransferredDataLimit is set to 0, no limits are imposed.

UseChunkedEncoding
Enables or Disables HTTP chunked encoding for transfers
If UseChunkedEncoding is set to true, the bean will use HTTP chunked encoding when posting if possible. HTTP chunked encoding allows large files to be sent in chunks instead of all at once. If set to false, the bean will not use HTTP chunked encoding. The default value is false. Note: Some servers (such as the ASP.NET Development Server) may not support chunked encoding.

ChunkSize
Specifies the chunk size in bytes when using chunked encoding
This is only applicable when UseChunkedEncoding is true. This setting specifies the chunk size in bytes to be used when posting data. The default value is 16384.
UsePlatformHTTPClient
Whether or not to use the platform HTTP client
If True, the component will use the default HTTP client for the platform ( URLConnection in Java or WebRequest in .NET) instead of the internal HTTP implementation. This is important for environments where direct access to sockets is limited or not allowed (as in the Google AppEngine for instance).
UserAgent
Information about the user agent (browser)
This is the value supplied in the HTTP User-Agent header. The default setting is "/n software IPWorks HTTP/S Component - www.nsoftware.com".Override the default with the name and version of your software.

KerberosSPN
The Service Principal Name for the Kerberos Domain Controller
If the Service Principal Name on the Kerberos Domain Controller is not the same as the URL that you are authenticating to, the Service Principal Name should be set here.

IPPort Configuration Settings

FirewallAutoDetect
Tells the bean whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available
This is the same as AutoDetect . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.
FirewallHost
Name or IP address of firewall (optional)
If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall when connecting.If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned.

NOTE: This is the same as Host . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallListener
If true, the component binds to a SOCKS firewall as a server (IPPort only)
This entry is for IPPort only and does not work for other components that descend from IPPort.If this entry is set, the bean acts as a server. RemoteHost and RemotePort are used to tell the SOCKS firewall in which address and port to listen to. The firewall rules may ignore RemoteHost , and it is recommended that RemoteHost be set to empty string in this case.

RemotePort is the port in which the firewall will listen to. If set to 0, the firewall will select a random port. The binding (address and port) is provided through the ConnectionStatus event.

The connection to the firewall is made by calling the Connect method.

FirewallPassword
Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall
If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the bean throws an exception.NOTE: This is the same as Password . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallPort
The TCP port for the FirewallHost;
Note that the FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.NOTE: This is the same as Port . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallType
Determines the type of firewall to connect through
The appropriate values are as follows:
0
No firewall (default setting).
1
Connect through a tunneling proxy. FirewallPort is set to 80.
2
Connect through a SOCKS4 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
3
Connect through a SOCKS5 Proxy. FirewallPort is set to 1080.
NOTE: This is the same as FirewallType . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

FirewallUser
A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall
If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the bean throws an exception.NOTE: This is the same as User . This setting is provided for use by beans that do not directly expose Firewall properties.

KeepAliveTime
The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent
When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. By default the operating system will determine the time a connection is idle before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many cases a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

KeepAliveInterval
The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received
When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true. A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as defined by KeepAliveTime . If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet will be re-sent. This setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds. This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.Note: This value is not applicable in Java or MAC.

Linger
When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully
This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.In the case that Linger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires.

In the second scenario, LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection.

The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the bean returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data is sent (even after your application closes).

Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action.

LingerTime
Time in seconds to have the connection linger
LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout.
LocalHost
The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted
The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the bean initiate connections (or accept in the case of server beans) only through that interface.

If the bean is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

LocalPort
The TCP port in the local host where the bean binds
This must be set before a connection is attempted. It instructs the bean to bind to a specific port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established.

LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error.

This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems.

MaxLineLength
The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found
MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL string.If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset.

If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset.

The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes. The maximum value is 65536 bytes.

MaxTransferRate
The transfer rate limit in bytes per second
This setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default this is not set and there is no limit.
TCPKeepAlive
Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled
If set to true, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.Note: This value is not applicable in Java.

UseIPv6
Whether or not to use IPv6
By default, the component expects an IPv4 address for local and remote host properties, and will create an IPv4 socket. To use IPv6 instead, set this to True.
CloseStreamAfterTransfer
If true, the component will close the upload or download stream after the transfer
This entry is for bean and all the components that descend from it.This property is true by default. Therefore, by default, all streams will be closed after a transfer is completed. In order to keep streams open after the transfer of data, you must set this config to false.

TcpNoDelay
Whether or not to delay when sending packets
When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals. This is known as the Nagle algorithm.By default, this config is set to false.

Socket Configuration Settings

AbsoluteTimeout
Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts
If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.
FirewallData
Used to send extra data to the firewall
When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes).
InBufferSize
The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket
This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the bean is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

OutBufferSize
The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket
This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack. You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in performance in some cases.Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the bean is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small.

Base Configuration Settings

GUIAvailable
Tells the bean whether or not a message loop is available for processing events
In a GUI-based application, long-running blocking operations may cause the application to stop responding to input until the operation returns. The bean will attempt to discover whether or not the application has a message loop and, if one is discovered, it will process events in that message loop during any such blocking operation.In some non-GUI applications an invalid message loop may be discovered that will result in errant behavior. In these cases, setting GuiAvailable to false will ensure that the bean does not attempt to process external events.

Throws:
IPWorksException

copyResource

public void copyResource(java.lang.String sourceResourceURI,
                         java.lang.String destinationResourceURI)
                  throws IPWorksException
Copy a resource to a new location.

The CopyResource method will copy the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI .

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the bean will copy only SourceResourceURI . If Depth is set to "infinity", the bean will copy SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a LockResource of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Throws:
IPWorksException

deleteResource

public void deleteResource(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                    throws IPWorksException
Delete a resource.

The resource or collection specified by ResourceURI is deleted. The DeleteResource method behaves independently of the Depth property. If ResourceURI denotes a non-collection resource, it is first removed from any collection which contains, then is removed from the server. If ResourceURI denotes a collection, the server behaves as if the command were issued with an infinite depth (ie, all internal member URIs denoting single resources or collections are deleted).

Throws:
IPWorksException

doEvents

public void doEvents()
              throws IPWorksException
Processes events from the internal message queue.

When DoEvents is called, the bean processes any available events. If no events are available, it waits for a preset period of time, and then returns.

Throws:
IPWorksException

findProperties

public void findProperties(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                    throws IPWorksException
Get resource property values from the server.

FindProperties will request the values for the names at each item provided in the Properties collection . The matching URIs and property values will be returned through one or more ResourceProperties events (one for each matching resource).

If there are no Properties set, then the server will be asked for all the properties of the resource. The properties will be returned via one or more ResourceProperties events.

Depth is used to determine which resources or properties are retrieved from the server. A depth of ResourceOnly will return only the resource associated with ResourceURI , or its properties. A depth of Infinity will return all resources contained within hierarchy, or their collective properties.

Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return a HTTP 403 Forbidden response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

findPropertyNames

public void findPropertyNames(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                       throws IPWorksException
Get resource property names from the server.

FindPropertyNames will request names of all the properties of ResourceURI . The matching URIs will be returned through one or more ResourceProperties events (one for each matching resource), and the property names will be provided through the Properties collection .

Depth is used to determine which resources or properties are retrieved from the server. A depth of ResourceOnly will return only the resource associated with ResourceURI , or its properties. A depth of Infinity will return all resources contained within hierarchy, or their collective properties.

Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return a HTTP 403 Forbidden response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getProperty

public java.lang.String getProperty(java.lang.String propertyName)
                             throws IPWorksException
Get the value for a particular property.

The bean will search through its internal Properties collection for the property identified by PropertyName and will return the value associated with it.

PropertyName may also be a partial XPath expression to the retrieved resource XML. This is useful for reading values of composite properties.

Throws:
IPWorksException

getResource

public void getResource(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                 throws IPWorksException
Get a resource using the WebDAV GET method.

Fetch the resource using the WebDAV GET method. The resource contents are delivered through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers through the Header event.

Throws:
IPWorksException

interrupt

public void interrupt()
               throws IPWorksException
Interrupt the current method.

If there is no method in progress, Interrupt simply returns, doing nothing.

Throws:
IPWorksException

listDirectory

public void listDirectory(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                   throws IPWorksException
List the files and subdirectories of the ResourceURI .

This method will return a list of resources from the specified URI. The results will be returned through one or more DirList events (one for each matching resource).

Depth is used to determine which resources or properties are retrieved from the server. A depth of ResourceOnly will return only the resource associated with ResourceURI , or its properties. A depth of Infinity will return all resources contained within hierarchy, or their collective properties.

Note: Some servers (such as IIS 7.5) may not support a depth of Infinity by default and may return a HTTP 403 Forbidden response.

Throws:
IPWorksException

lockResource

public void lockResource(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                  throws IPWorksException
Obtain a lock for a specified resource.

The LockResource method will request a new lock to be placed on ResourceURI in the user's name so that only the user can operate on it. The method is linked to a number of properties that it uses to generate the lock request:

LockOwner
The principle that will own the lock.
LockScope
The scope of the lock. The bean only currently supports locks of scope "exclusive" and "shared".
LockTimeout
The amount of time that the lock is allowed to exist before ResourceURI is automatically unlocked by the server.
LockTokens
The lock itself. If the user sets this before making the request, the timeout on the existing lock will be refreshed (reset to 0). Otherwise, a new set of lock tokens will be returned.
LockType
The type of lock. The bean only currently supports of type "write".
After a successful call to the LockResource method the bean will receive the new lock values, which it will parse and store in the lock properties.

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the bean will lock only ResourceURI and its properties. If Depth is set to "infinity", the bean will lock ResourceURI and its entire subtree.

If MoveResource or CopyResource are used to place a resource or collection in a location under a resource locked with "infinity", the new resource or collection will be added to the lock. Any lock on a collection will prevent non-lock owners from adding resources to that collection.

Throws:
IPWorksException

makeDirectory

public void makeDirectory(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                   throws IPWorksException
Make a new directory.

A new resource collection is created at the location specified by ResourceURI .

Throws:
IPWorksException

moveResource

public void moveResource(java.lang.String sourceResourceURI,
                         java.lang.String destinationResourceURI)
                  throws IPWorksException
Moves one resource to a new location.

The MoveResource method will move the resource indicated by SourceResourceURI to a new location under the resource indicated by DestinationResourceURI .

This method is associated with the Depth property. If Depth is set to "0", the bean will move only SourceResourceURI . If Depth is set to "infinity", the bean will move SourceResourceURI and its entire subtree to locations relative to it.

If the user has acquired a LockResource of infinite depth on either DestinationResourceURI or any collection it is under, SourceResourceURI will be added to that lock.

Throws:
IPWorksException

patchProperties

public void patchProperties(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                     throws IPWorksException
Update the current set of properties on the server.

When the user calls PatchProperties , the bean will send a request to the server to update the existing property list. The method is linked to the Properties property: the bean will use the Operation field to tell the server what to do with the properties.

Throws:
IPWorksException

postToResource

public void postToResource(java.lang.String resourceURI,
                           byte[] postData)
                    throws IPWorksException
Posts data to a resource using the WebDAV POST method.

Posts data to the resource ResourceURI using the WebDAV POST method. The posted data is taken from PostData . The server response text is received through the Transfer event, and the HTTP response headers through the Header event. If LocalFile is not empty the data (not the headers) is written there as well.

Throws:
IPWorksException

putResource

public void putResource(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                 throws IPWorksException
Send data to the server using the PUT method.

The data is taken from LocalFile . The server will normally require authentication for this operation, so User and Password must have valid values before the request is made.

Throws:
IPWorksException

reset

public void reset()
           throws IPWorksException
Reset the bean.

When called, the bean will reset all of its properties to their default values.

Throws:
IPWorksException

setDownloadStream

public void setDownloadStream(java.io.OutputStream downloadStream)
                       throws IPWorksException
Sets the stream to which the downloaded data from the server will be written.

If a download stream is set before the GetResource method is called, the downloaded data will be written to the stream. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0.

The bean will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetDownloadStream again before calling GetResource again.

The downloaded content will be written starting at the current position in the stream.

Throws:
IPWorksException

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String propertyName,
                        java.lang.String propertyValue)
                 throws IPWorksException
Set the value of a property.

This method is used to set a single property to a certain value. The name and new value of the property must be supplied in the parameters for this method.

NOTE: This is the same as calling the PatchProperties on one property where the operation is opSet.

Example

 Control.SetProperty("MyProperty", "MyValue") 

is equivalent to:

 Control.Properties.Add(new DAVProperty())
 Control.Properties[0].Name = "MyProperty"
 Control.Properties[0].Value = "MyValue"
 Control.Properties[0].Operation = DAVPropertyOperations.opSet
 Control.PatchProperties() 

Throws:
IPWorksException

setUploadStream

public void setUploadStream(java.io.InputStream uploadStream)
                     throws IPWorksException
Sets the stream to be uploaded to the server.

If an upload stream is set before data is to be uploaded to the server, the content of the stream will be read by the bean and uploaded to the server. The stream should be open and normally set to position 0.

The bean will automatically close this stream if CloseStreamAfterTransfer is true (default). If the stream is closed, you will need to call SetUploadStream again before calling the PutResource / PostToResource again.

The content of the stream will be read from the current position all the way to the end and no bytes will be skipped.

Throws:
IPWorksException

unLockResource

public void unLockResource(java.lang.String resourceURI)
                    throws IPWorksException
Unlocks a resource.

Before calling UnLockResource on a particular resource, the LockTokens property must be set to the lock tokens for ResourceURI . The method will remove the lock, allowing other users or non-privileged users to access and operate on the file.

Throws:
IPWorksException

addWebdavEventListener

public void addWebdavEventListener(WebdavEventListener l)
                            throws java.util.TooManyListenersException
Throws:
java.util.TooManyListenersException

removeWebdavEventListener

public void removeWebdavEventListener(WebdavEventListener l)
