MaxDB provides a WebDAV servlet that implements the WebDAV protocol in accordance with RFC2518 (see www.w3.org). You can use a MaxDB database instance as a document store and access those documents directly via the WebDAV servlet using a web client such as Microsoft Windows Explorer.
You can use the WebDAV servlet on any operating system supported by the database system.
The WebDAV servlet is an integral part of
the MaxDB software. For information on where to get the MaxDB software and how
to install it, see Download; and in
the Installation
Manual, see
Configuring Web SQL /
WebDAV.
For more information about the database
system, see Concepts of the
Database System. For quick access to all documentation and an explanation
of the most important terms, use the alphabetical
Glossary.
As runtime environment for the MaxDB WebDAV servlet, you need a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat, SAP NetWeaver AS or JBoss.
You can use the Web SQL Studio database
tool to access the document stores with which you are currently connected. See
Web SQL Studio, Opening WebDAV
Repositories
