I think it would make sense to have the Data Source Explorer map any resource to the local file system when the resource is connected through the interface. Doing this allows the user to build locally without requiring the manual mapping, which the user might forget causing frustration.

Thanks.

Hello,

Based on a previous discussion I think you want a WebDAV repository containing some DITA map and topic files mapped as a local folder so that building the output from the DITA map can be competed without error. Please note that the Data Source Explorer view displays database connections and FTP and WebDAV data sources.

Unfortunately mapping a remote WebDAV interface in the local filesystem is a feature of the operating system which is not accessible to the Java applications. The application can only access the content of the interface that was already mapped locally in the operating system.
