[oXygen-user] Save via WebDAV

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hi Gary,

Adrian asked me to help you further.

I'm afraid using our Java APIs from a plugin we do not have control to 
allow a third party plugin to control where and how a resource is saved.

Maybe you can also look at other options Exist has for uploading content 
to their database:

http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/doc/uploading-files.xml

like the section about "Uploading files with XQuery". Or ask around on 
the Exist list, maybe there are ways to set this up on the server side 
instead of using Oxygen to drive the transformation.

Regards,

Radu
