Hi David, thanks for your answer. Let say the scenario is a little different from my first mail. I am not going to download the xsd file by client. I m using a entity resolver inside a JAVA class to resolve a xsd resource inside the WEB-INF/xsd directory. There are two ways to access a resource in my case 1) ask for absolute path 2) ask via getResourceAsStream 3) Ask for URL
=> The point one is out of discussion, because on server it is not possible to ask for absolute path :) The point two is the usual way to access resources inside a war file on a server, but it did lead to the same result as one in my case!!!! The point three maybe resoolve my problem ! Hier is my Resolver where you see where i call for the xsd: *************************************************************** public class MyEntityResolver extends DefaultHandler implements EntityResolver { public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId) { ...... if( systemId != null && systemId.endsWith(".xsd") ) { String xsdURL="http://myServer:5200/MyWebApplication/xsds/cusomer.xsd"; InputStream inputStream = MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream(xsdURL); } } ........ } which expect a URL as systemId to find out a xsd file. --- David Smith <d...@cornell.edu> schrieb am So, 8.3.2009: > Von: David Smith <d...@cornell.edu> > Betreff: Re: download a file inside WEB-INF use its URL on server > An: "Tomcat Users List" <users@tomcat.apache.org> > Datum: Sonntag, 8.
