SAP MaxDB provides a WebDAV servlet webdavServletMaxDB-<version>.war that implements the WebDAV protocol in accordance with RFC2518 (see http://www.w3.org).

You can use a SAP MaxDB database as a document store and access the documents stored in it 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.

Note Note

The WebDAV servlet is a new implementation of the SAP MaxDB WebDAV interface. If you have already used WebDAV for access to a SAP MaxDB database in software version 7.5, the installation program automatically adapts your WebDAV document store for use with the new WebDAV servlet.

End of the note.

As runtime environment for the SAP MaxDB WebDAV servlet, you need a servlet container such as Apache Tomcat, SAP NetWeaver AS or JBoss.
