I will try googling. I have been struggling with it for sometime even playing with context.xml file.

thanks,

I can put something together, but not until tonight -- it'll take too long to do at work. In the meantime, feel free to google. This is such a simple item I'm sure someone has done it before and posted their experiences.

I am in the same boat as Bob. I already have a servlet displaying the filenames to select from. My servlet is mapped to a different name in web.xml file. How should I proceed. Should I have another new servlet? What about for different file formats. Should it also be mapped?

thanks,
suba suresh.

I would recommend a servlet that streams the files from some configured absolute path(s) to the client. It's reasonably simple and allows you some degree of control over what is delivered. Map the servlet to *.pdf in your web.xml to make it respond to all requests for pdfs.

For the client side, sure.
I already know it works if I copy the pdf file under my tomcat
application... I just don't want to move hundreds of files there...

Bob

Those files are in a proprietary format..you'll need to go to adobe and get the PDF plugin/viewer for display-

I have the same problem as Bob but files mapping into different file systems. I also tried the context mapping as you (Mark)had suggested with app.xml file. I will read about the link config tomorrow and try it. Any help would be appreciated.

thanks,
suba suresh.

Mark,

No... Didn't know about it...
Now that I know about it (Thank You), I'm not sure of what really needs to
be done... No where under $CATALINA_HOME do I have a defaultcontext.xml, context.xml,
or similarly named file. All of my similarly named files are *.html files






or
directories, as follows:

#pwd
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5
# find . -name \*context\* -print
./server/webapps/admin/context
./server/webapps/admin/defaultcontext
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/printer/context.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/printer/defaultcontext.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/context.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/defaultcontext.html
./webapps/wade2/scripts/contextmenu.css

So I'm not sure what to do - any advice?

Regards,

Bob

I have Tomcat 5.0.28 running on AIX 5.2.

Under the webapps/appname directory, if I create a symbolic link to the

files, they will not display.



Have you enabled linking? See the allowLinking property at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
