[Erp5-dev] proposed change to File class

[Bartek Gorny]

Hello

I needed to put objects inside a class that inherits from File
(namely, I wanted to put Role Definition inside under OOoDocument
objects). To do that, I've made a change to
Product/ERP5/Document/File.py - made File inherit from XMLObject:

line 115
- class File(Base, CMFFile)
+ class File(XMLObject, Base, CMFFile)

Works for me, but is it ok from the system's point of view? Can it be
safely commited?

The main issue to check is the support for DAV. File should act as a
terminating leaf from DAV point of view but should behave as a folder to
support local roles.

This probably requires to set the inheritance of webdav related methods on
the File class.

I advise to use konqueror or cadaver to test webdav. If a folder which
contains files appears as empty from webdav point of view, it usually means
that some exception was caught, for example the exception related to file
size.

Ooops - yes, there seems to be a problem with WebDAV. I'll have to dig
deeper into this.
