How to connect to WebDAV for working with portal pages and static content

To connect to WebDav for working with portal pages and static content, you enter the WebDAV entry URL.

This URL is as follows:

• For default portal installations:

  http://server:port/webdav/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/

• For virtual portals:

  • If a host name was specified when the virtual portal was created, the WebDAV URL looks like this:

    http://virtual_portal_host_name:port/webdav/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/

  • If the virtual portal was created with a URL context only and no host name was specified, the WebDAV URL looks like this:

    http://server:port/webdav/URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/[page_unique_name|page_object_id]/

where

server

This is the host name of the Portal.

port

This is the port number of WebSphere Portal.

URL_context_of_the_virtual_portal

This is the URL context of the target virtual portal, if the virtual portal URL context is configured to be encoded into the URL.

virtual_portal_host_name

This is the host name of the target virtual portal, if the virtual portal host name is configured to be encoded into the URL.

unique_name

This is the unique name or serialized object ID of the portal page that you determine to be the root of the WebDAV hierarchy.

For example, this might be the content root wps.content.root .

Examples of entry URLs to all portal pages are as follows:

http://www.my_company.com:10040/webdav/dav/contentmodel/wps.content.root/

For virtual portals examples of entry URLs to all portal pages are as follows:

• For a virtual portal created with the host name vp.mycompany.com:

  http://vp.mycompany.com:10040/webdav/dav/contentmodel/wps.content.root/

• For a virtual portal created with the URL context vp1 and without a host name:

  http://localhost:10040/webdav/vp1/!ut/p/dav/contentmodel/wps.content.root/

For details about virtual portals and how to create them by host name or URL context refer to the topic about Multiple virtual portals and its subtopics.
