Class DAVClient

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.webdav.client.DAVClient

All Implemented Interfaces:

IServer

Direct Known Subclasses:

LocalDAVClient, RemoteDAVClient

public abstract class DAVClient
extends Object
implements IServer

Dav Clients implement the IServer interface and represent a client's connection to a server.

Note: This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
