Re: How to set up a special folder to list all files under it?
I am not sure there is a similar feature in Tomcat. I did some research before I did this and could not find a similar feature, or at least one I understood to work like that. It requires Apache or IIS, I suppose most web servers provide a virtual directory feature --- Michael Hencin President - Enginuity Development Inc.

How can I use this feature of virtual directory in 5.5.20? Any example or docs? I don't have Apache installed or IIS associated with Tomcat in my box.

Re: How to set up a special folder to list all files under it?
Hello, I noticed the mention of symbolic links and it was similar enough to what I did in our application to provide a kind of "symbolic link" in our application. The method I cam up with allowed the user to user tomcat, and then also create a directory outside the context of our web app that is used to store files. We allow users to attach files within our application that are related to database entries. The problem we had was that we wanted to have a location deliberately outside the context of the web app for two reasons. 1) Redeployment risked deleting the saved files (they act as an archive and must be saved) 2) disk location growth. These files can be very large, and we wanted to provide a way to let the end users easily place them on another volume or disk. So we now have the users create a virtual directory. We use apache web server. This virtual directory is linked to the file location. then we have them enter that virtual directory path into our database, and its served up on the pages. This then lets the users follow the link to the virtual directory, and apache takes care of the listings. We do not use apache as a front end at all, just in this case we use its virtual directory feature. Tomcat does a fine enough job of the web serving we need. but in this once case, where we wanted to show files i a difference place, not in the context of the web app I came up with this kind of work around. Before that we just used a UNC path stored in the database, but it did not work well with firebird and safari, and users outside the network could not follow the UNC link. This method of using a virtual directory from apache (or IIS ) seems to work nicely. --- Michael Hencin President - Enginuity Development Inc.

Under listing directory, is there any way putting a file link there since I want to put physical file in a different disk? I tried and it showed me a file with a link, but after I clicked this test.lnk it can't show me the physical file at all. Thanks!

How to set up a special folder to list all files under it?
My current setting is redirect default request (localhost:8080) to my app by adding a refresh meta in index.html under Root. Now I need add a specific folder which will let user to browse all files under it without authentication. This folder can be under my app folder or root folder (I don't care under which context it is, just make sure user can access and browse files under it). I am with 5.5.20 service of XP Pro SP2 box. Can anyone give me some hints?
