I have not verified the following, but this is what I think is happening. An href is a URI, not a file system path. The URI handler in the Windows JVM detects the "C:" prefix, and forces the protocol for the URI to be "file:", since that's the only scenario in which "C:" makes any sense. No such hints are available on Linux, so the path is returned as is, with no explicit protocol. The HTML RFC requires that such paths be treated as relative to the protocol and server used to present the page in which the href occurs, so the _browser_ (not Tomcat) converts that to "http://<host>/root/test.html". To make the Linux version work like Windows, use an explicit protocol on the path (e.g., "file:///root/test.html". Note also that it's the browser handling the "file:" reference, so I expect your scheme will only work when the client and server are on the same machine. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
