Using DAVExplorer to Access the Repository Resources
To add or modify a resource, you must copy the resource to or from the repository using a WebDAV
tool. Using DavExplorer is an easy way to access the repository and the resources contained in the repository.
DAVExplorer is a freely available WebDAV client application. This software is available from
http://www.davexplorer.org.
Note:
DavExplorer is for Windows machines only. To access the repository, you must be on the same
machine where MapInfo Spatial Server and the repository are installed.
To get or add resources from the repository using DAVExplorer, use the following instructions:
Getting Resources From the Repository Using DAVExplorer
Use the following steps to get resources from the repository using DAV Explorer:
1. Open DAVExplorer.
2. In DAVExplorer, enter the URL of the MapInfo Spatial Server repository and click the Connect button.
For example, enter localhost:8080/RepositoryService/repository/default/. (Note
that DAVExplorer prepends http:// automatically.)
If prompted, enter the admin/admin login name and password required to connect to the repository.
Once you are connected to the repository, a node for the repository appears in the treeview pane
on the left.
3. In the treeview pane on the left, expand the nodes under the repository node until you see the node
that contains the type of resource you want to get.
For example, if the named resource you want to get is a configuration, expand the repository nodes
until you see the Configuration node. Click on the node to select it. The named configuration resources
in the repository are then listed in the right pane.

You may click on any of the fields of the named resource to select it.

The Save As dialog box opens.

in which you want to save it, then click the Save button.
