Davenport on tomcat

I am trying to make some samba shares available via Webdav and there are many references to davenport (http://davenport.sourceforge.net/), however there is not much information about how to set this up with Tomcat (I don't know tomcat very well.) Does anyone know of a Howto or at least some basic instructions on how to configure Davenport with Tomcat?

Just had to do the same thing myself. First, make sure tomcat6 is installed, then move the contents of the webapp/root folder to a folder for davenport. I moved it to /usr/share/davenport. Finally, create an xml file in /etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost that points to your folder. Mine was like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Whatever you name the .xml will be the path to the app. So davenport.xml means you have to access it with http://ipaddress:8080/davenport

Restart tomcat6 and you should be able to access the app.

Hope that helps!
