Hi Christopher My directory structure is as follows: context_path/customer/public....
I make a call to my jsp via something to the effect: URL url = URL(....jsp); write the stream i receive to context_path/customer/public/customer_id/index.html The servlet function from within which the above processing is done should return a preview of the page to the user via return (new ActionForward(/customer/public/cutomer_id/index.html)); "I am using struts by the way". the returned actionforward results in 404 error. The html is also available on the main site for searching, when i click a link that results from the search I get the same 404 error. When i redeploy the app I can search and the 404 error doesn't happen when I click a result link. It is as if tomcat catalogs all subfolders in your context path upon deployment and doesn't bother actually checking the disk for files??? On 10/23/06, Christopher Schultz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

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
