The Hippo Dav2Disk Tool synchronises the content of part of a webdav repository (including metadata) with a filesystem representation of that content and metadata.

Building

To build you need the hippo maven javadist plugin:

maven -Dversion=1.01.00 -DartifactId=hippo-javadist-plugin -DgroupId=hippo-javadist-plugin plugin:download -Dmaven.repo.remote=http://repository.hippocms.org/maven,http://repo1.maven.org/maven

If this fails, you may have to add http://repository.hippocms.org/maven to your maven.repo.remote settings

Then just type:

maven

Config

Go to target\Dav2Disk-<version>
edit config\dav2disk.properties

repository.host=127.0.0.1
repository.port=60000
repository.username=root
repository.password=password
repository.namespace=default
repository.path=/files/default.preview
filesystem.path=data

The repository.* describe the location of the webdav repository, and filesystem.path is the location on the filesystem that it will be synchronised with.

Run

Make sure that in the repositories definition.xml the isolation is set to /READ_COMMITTED/, not /SERIALIZABLE/ This might mean that you'll need to temporarily disable clustering to use this tool

On windows type:

run

On linux type:

./run.sh

If you only want to download the repository to the filesystem without changing the repository (for example, to make a dump of a part of the repository), type:

run download

If you want to upload this dump to a new repository location, change the dav2disk.properties appropriately, and type:

run upload
