But maybe you could just create a link, inside your deployment
directory,
to the mount ?
/opt/Tomcat/webapps/myApp/docs --> /opt/document-repository
If you're going to do this, be Very Very Careful. Tomcat doesn't follow
symbolic links by default, even on UNIX. This is for a very good
reason: if
you do this, Tomcat *will* follow the symlink and delete your PDFs
when you
undeploy your webapp.
Ooops.
(Although I did specify read access for the Tomcat user-id. If it does
not have write access to the directory pointed to, it should not be able
to delete the files, right ?)
You probably don't want this to happen.
This is a common enough use case (it comes up about once a month on the
list) that Someone may have coded a quick "serve the content from this
directory" servlet, probably based on the root webapp. Chris? You're
generally the coder with quick hacks already developed...
The OP already has a servlet AFAICT. It's just not working.
I think indeed the OP has some kind of servlet, and that one works.
But I understood that he wanted Tomcat to serve these documents
directly, as files, not going through a servlet.
Maybe I got that wrong.
OP ?
