[GroupDAV] Having problems with basic functionality - Question of setup

Thanks for the deleted items fix!

Your setup should be right as long as all the jars are in the right place.
If the source creation panel in the admin tool states the version you are
using is right, and you are able to create a source using it, most of the
time, things should work.

Usually before sticking a build on the server I do add/modify/delete tests
from both sides just to see if any development I've done has killed
something. I typically test with the Synthesis PalmOS client - it works just
as well in the PalmOS Simulator as it does on actual hardware too.

Unfortunately the Outlook plugin is a bad client to test with. It frequently
locks up and has even crashed on me several times. NextHaus has a payware
client which is much more stable but still unstable in some situations.
 
In JGroupDAV I've started to write some unit tests with JUnit
(test/net/bionicmessage/* ). I'd like to write an automated test suite for
the connector itself some time in the future, hopefully using Funambol or
someone elses SyncML library.
