Hi List, thanks in advance for the help. I'm fairly new to tomcat so I appologize for anything I say that may be painfully obvious.
I've set up a security servlet that will check permissions on various html, pdf, xml, etc, files. I've managed the security and caching and filtering so this is not my problem.. My problem is something that should seem to be much more simple ergo,, incredibly more agravating for me ;) I don't know where to put all these files. 1) I started with the content files out of the Web directory all together and kept the mapping in an xml file and then served them using FileInputStream and writing them to the ServletOutputStream. This doesn't work because any internal refrences (<img>, <style>, etc.) are lost. 2) My next attempt was to put them into the Servlet folder which worked until I had to reload the .war file.. Which promptly got rid of all the content. I considered adding the content to the war file,, but this isn't so good because it would be nice for the application developers to work seperately from the editors which already have there own proccesses for managing content. 3) My last attempt is to put the content outside the Servlet folder,, but then I can't figure out how to map the servlet filter to fire when someone requests a file. I have spent a considerable time looking through Google, but still have not found an answer.. Any help would be very appreciated.
