Answer from Oracle:Oracle Drive (ODrive) extends the windows explorer right hand menu with capabilities specific to the backend file store. The option ‘SET PROPERTIES’ is specific for Oracle Portal and cannot be used in combination with the package ordsys.dav_api_driver.Extended capabilities of the Windows Explorer menu are discussed in Technote “HOW TO INSTALL AND CONFIGURE ORACLE DRIVE WITH ORACLE PORTAL”

It is a prerequisite that Oracle Portal is installed. I tried using Oracle Drive with the interMedia OraDAV driver (Kit), and I figured out that this doesn’t work. I logged a service request and Oracle confirmed that you can only use all Oracle Drive functionality when you use the standard /dav_portal/portal WebDav Container.This should answer both of your questions I think ;o)

You said:Well, these WebDav Folders are implemented using an Oracle Portal Page Group.Does this mean this only works with Oracle Portal (so Oracle Application Server) installed?With the Oracle 10g release 2 database, it is possible to have webdav functionality in the database (via MOD_ORADAV), without the need for Oracle Portal or Application Server.If I understand well, Oracle Drive looks like an “application layer” around this MOD_ORADAV.So probably it should also work with the database (+webserver) only?
