Description Rob Leathley 2004-05-19 10:58:40 UTC 
resource.getIsHidden() returns false,

even when the following returns true:

Enumeration e = resource.propfindMethod("ishidden");
if (e.hasMoreElements())
  isHidden = ((String) e.nextElement()).equals("1");

Which is very similar to what is in WebdavResource.java.

There is also no public method resource.setIsHidden(boolean isHidden) to change
this property so I am using resource.proppatchMethod.
Comment 1 Ingo Brunberg 2004-05-19 11:41:13 UTC 
Does anyone know something about a "ishidden" property? It's not mentioned in
the WebDAV specification. Is there some server that automatically generates such
a property?

I guess that method should have served as the basis for the isHidden() method in
WebdavFile. But in my opinion isHidden() is not applicable to a WebDAV
repository in general, so it's reasonable to always return false. This means
that isHidden related methods should be removed from WebdavResource.

Other opinions?

Maybe it should be removed from WebdavResource.  I only tried using it because
it appeared here.  I couldn't find any reference in the spec either.

The ishidden-property is a microsoft extension specified in the following 
draft:

http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/draft-hopmann-collection-props-00.txt

We should try to support the added properties in order to improve the MS 
Office/Webfolder interoperability.
This no bug, so I adressed this to the 2.1 release
