I don't think it's security, but I looked at the Servlet spec (page 55) and couldn't find a specific reason. It looks like it was originally intended that a RequestDispatcher should represent only a servlet, and that you could forward to that servlet to continue processing the request, but there is also the include method of RequestDispatcher for when you wish to output /some/ data and then allow the included resource to continue processing. Perhaps the very fact that HTML files are allowed to be the target resources of RequestDispatchers at all was added on at some later point for developer convenience. Certainly there is more [programmatic] flexibility if you are forwarding to or including a servlet (or JSP, which is really a servlet).

RE: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF
It is strange that RequestDispatcher considers only
jsp and html, why not other extns like jpg/gif or why
not just any other resource - is this because of any
security concern?
Also, I have not understood your workaround Mr Edson,
can you please tell me in more detail how to get
around my problem?
Thanks

RE: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF
You need the CGI module to do this, that´s not a hard work but only
with Apache, Tomcat don´t deal with CGI.

Re: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF
I do not think you can forward to a .exe file, not sure of what the spec
says but the Javadoc says only JSP or HTML files.
This link will probably get broken in your mail client, but if you
reassemble it you can read the doc:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html#forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,%20javax.servlet.ServletResponse)

Subject: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF
I want to give out an exe after an authorization. So I
put the exe in WEB-INF to avoid direct access, and
tried to do:
RequestDispatcher rd =
req.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/my.exe");
rd.forward (req, res);
Tomcat 4.0.6 says /WEb-INF/my.exe cannot be found.
I dont know how this is different from what Craig
mentioned at

Thank you

RE: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF
The web-inf is protected, ie it's not a part of the web app. At least not
in terms of being able to serve files from within it.
