---------------------------------------------------- Please read the FAQ at <http://java.apache.org/faq/> It has a search feature and all the answers! ---------------------------------------------------- We're writing a system that uses a web client and Apache server to deliver rich multimedia training apps. These apps include gigabytes of video and audio. Instead of web-delivering the audio and video (which requires pretty fast random access - ruling out streaming as an effective solution), we're creating a CD/DVD ROM that contains all the big assets. However, to provide flexibility, we're coding all the paths to AVI's, MPEG's, MP3's, etc to be relative to the html file that they get played in (HREF=media/video/foo.mpeg). This allows us to pass around the HTML with the video/audio for development and demos without a server. Using Apache JServ's ability to register an extension to a servlet handeler, we override the resolution of the audio/video's URL and use prior knowledge of the client's system to redirect the URL to a local file:// URL. We have this working great. The question is, if I want to fail-over the resolution of the URL back to the server, will I get stuck in a loop? For instance, suppose the client requests foo.avi. JServ is configured with "ApJServAction .avi /servlets/MediaHandeler". The MediaHandeler servlet determines that the foo.avi file isn't on the client's system (remember we have this prior knowledge). However, foo.avi *does* exist on the server. How do I tell the client to use http://server/media/foo.avi without the servlet standing in the way?
