Hi, these are files of static content, aren't they. Why do you take on the overhead to make them go through your servlet-engine? This is only necessary if you have some access restrictions based on servlet resource collections for these static files. Then if you let the webserver, for instance apache, stream out the static content files, the webserver is responsible for caching and if- modified handling.
