If you don't mind providing direct access to the downloadable area, one easy way to provide this is to place a <Context> element in conf/Catalina/[host]/[dlink].xml, where [dlink] is the URL link you want for the downloadable files. Within the <Context> element, place a docBase attribute that points to the directory that downloads occur from. No programming required. For example, if using the default <Host> element and the downloadable files are in /usr/myName/downloads and you want the URL pattern for accessing these to be http://myhost.com/files/*.*, your <Context> element would look like this: <Context docBase="/usr/myName/downloads"/> and it would be placed in conf/Catalina/localhost/files.xml. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
