WebDAV interface broken. NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/input/DOMBuilder

Current Situation

• The YADE WebDAV interface uses the underlying webdavclient4j library.
  • The webdavclient4j library makes use of JDOM 1.1
  • The following error occurs:

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdom/input/DOMBuilder
        at org.apache.webdav.lib.BaseProperty.getPropertyAsString(BaseProperty.java:129)
    ....
    

• This problem is due to the fact that JDOM has been removed from JobScheduler including YADE starting from release 1.13.10 with JS-1940.
  • JDOM 1.1 is hit by vulnerability CVE-2021-33814

Desired Behavior

• The webdavclient4j is replaced by a more modern implementation that works without reference to JDOM:
   

Workaround

• Download the JDOM 1.1 library from e.g. the maven repository - jdom-1.1.jar.
• JobScheduler Controller/Master/Agent
  • Copy the jar file to the SCHEDULER_HOME/lib/patches directory.
  • Restart JobScheduler Controller/Master/Agent.
• YADE Client
  • Copy the downloaded file jdom-1.1.jar to the <yade>/lib/3rd-party directory.
