Hi all,
From my web application i generate some HTML files which are stored in the following path Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\downloaded
from my jsp page i try to access to this files like this:
http://localhost:8080/downloaded/nombrefile.html
but it doesnt work,
can you help me?
Thanks!
Well where is your web application situated?
The standard place is in the [TOMCAT]/webapps directory.
There are two possibilities:
The default webapp would be ROOT - and that is probably where http://localhost:8080/downloaded/nombrefile.html would go looking for the file in [TOMCAT]/webapps/ROOT/downloaded/nombrefile.html
If you have a webapp called downloaded, it would look in
[TOMCAT]/webapps/downloaded/nombrefile.html
You cannot directly access files outside of the webapp. That would be a security hole. One approach is to write a servlet which retrieves a file from disk outside of the webapp so that you can access that file from the webapp. It also allows you with code to control who can/can't access that file.
