Re: How to prevent access to pdf files
I am on a page. There are a list of pdf files on the page. If a user clicks on a pdf file, I want him to be redirected to a login page if he is not logged in. However this doesnt seem to be happening even with filters. Does the click on a pdf file not recognized as a request? Verify that the PDF is part of the webapp, and is being served by Tomcat. Also verify that the web.xml file specifies that the filter should be processing requests for the .pdf suffix. Often filters are configured to only process requests routed to servlets or JSP's.

RE: How to prevent access to pdf files
The way I have handled the problem in the past is to create a servlet streaming out the pdf and then I have complete control over authorizations. I would set the mime types to the pdf and then browser will treat it properly. -Original Message- From: John Brayton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 10:24 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: How to prevent access to pdf files I am on a page.

Re: How to prevent access to pdf files
The click should create a HTTP request. I would suggest that you put logging statements in your filter to figure out what happened. Did you configure your filter properly in web.xml so that it will intercept the requests to those PDF files? On Monday 02 June 2003 16:10, Tapan Nanawati wrote: Hi all, I am on a page.

However this doesnt seem to be happening even with filters. Does the click on a pdf file not recognized as a request? Make sure there is a return statement after the redirect. This prevents the filter from continuing to process the request (serving the PDF) while the redirect is processing. I had this same problem protecting JSPs in this fashion once.
