Guys,
I could be wrong here, but you may want to try just setting the mime type
that is sent to the browser. I don't believe that the .doc extension is
required to get IE to display the file as a word document. Just send the
mime type back as: application/msword and it will see the file as a word
document. This will also cause netscape to try to save the file instead of
read it. Hope this helps.

While that would work, you would have to create a separate jsp for each
document... really you should probably create your own servlet, map it
to *.doc in the same way, and use request.getPathInfo() and
request.getPathTranslated() (or just forward to the request to a URL in
a protected directory).
Or better yet, look into filters. I haven't looked at the Servlet 2.3
specification for filters yet, but I suspect this is exactly the sort of
problem filters are designed to solve.
