Even then I have to bring out the byte array into somewhere so that
they're link is active. Like I said I'd rather not do any type of copy
over for this link.
Plus I'm not too keep on Blobs in databases anyway.
I think the other's suggestion of the Servlet mapping will do great. Thanks for
all the input.

Why not just store the file in a database as a BLOB? Let the database

Subject: Accessing Files outside of WebApp
Hello,
In our current application I need to link to a file that resides
outside of the webapp directory. On another application we allowed the
users upload files and stored them in the webapp directory, which made
deployment a royal pain. This time we are storing the files in a
location external to Tomcat, however I need to let the users click a
link so they can download and open the file. I'd rather not "copy over"
the file to a tmp directory from which they download.
In Apache there was something like <Location>, is there something
like that in Tomcat?
Thanks for any input.
