When uploading a file using webdav in Tomcat 8.0.9 it doesn't show up immediately even though the server responds with "201 created".

This results in a 404 or even 500 on operations on a file that is supposed to be available on the server.

Disabling the static resource caching in the context didn't help. Tomcat 6.0.41 and 7.0.54 act normally.

According to rfc, if the server delays the file creation it should return a 202 accepted, not a 201 created.


Examples:

(1)
> dav:/webdav/> ls
> Listing collection `/webdav/': collection is empty.
> dav:/webdav/> put testfile.bin
> Uploading testfile.bin to `/webdav/testfile.bin':
> Progress: [=============================>] 100,0% of 102400 bytes succeeded.
> dav:/webdav/> propget testfile.bin
> Fetching properties for `testfile.bin': failed:
> 404 Not Found

[now I'm waiting for a couple of seconds]

> dav:/webdav/> propget testfile.bin
> Fetching properties for `testfile.bin':
> DAV: creationdate = 2014-07-01T16:29:35Z
> DAV: displayname = testfile.bin
> DAV: getlastmodified = Tue, 01 Jul 2014 16:29:35 GMT
> DAV: getcontentlength = 102400
> DAV: getcontenttype = application/octet-stream
> DAV: getetag = W/"102400-1404232175000"
> DAV: resourcetype =
> DAV: source =
> DAV: supportedlock = <DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockscope><DAV:exclusive></DAV:exclusive></DAV:lockscope><DAV:locktype><DAV:write></DAV:write></DAV:locktype></DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockentry><DAV:lockscope><DAV:shared></DAV:shared></DAV:lockscope><DAV:locktype><DAV:write></DAV:write></DAV:locktype></DAV:lockentry> 

(2)
> dav:/webdav/> rm testfile.bin
> Deleting `testfile.bin': succeeded.
> dav:/webdav/> ls
> Listing collection `/webdav/': collection is empty.
> dav:/webdav/> put testfile.bin testfile.bin.tmp
> Uploading testfile.bin to `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp':
> Progress: [=============================>] 100,0% of 102400 bytes succeeded.
> dav:/webdav/> move testfile.bin.tmp testfile.bin
> Moving `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp' to `/webdav/testfile.bin':  failed:
> 500 Internal Server Error

[again, waiting for a couple of seconds]

> dav:/webdav/> move testfile.bin.tmp testfile.bin
> Moving `/webdav/testfile.bin.tmp' to `/webdav/testfile.bin':  succeeded.
