Ugh... you are using JSP as a content-generation system? Why!? > however when I click on the link for the file, I get a 404 error. Can you give us an example of what the URL of the link is? Or are you just trying to have Tomcat serve a static HTML document that you had previously created? Where (specifically) are you storing these generated HTML documents? > When I restart the application after adding the file, everthing works > fine, but obviously I can't redepoly the app everytime a new html is > added. I have verified that the links are correct, Any ideas? Can anyone comment on Tomcat's caching of path lookups on the disk? That would seem to be a tremendous waste of memory if Tomcat actually remembered that a file didn't exist (not to mention a pain in the neck if you wanted to add files on the fly like this guy). Can someone confirm that Tomcat does nothing of the sort? That's the only reason I could think of for why he can't access his files. -chris
