Hello Tomcat experts,

I'm using Tomcat6 on my web application which is running on Windows Server 2003 
Standard Edition.
I want to access static files (PDF) in the remote directory on the disk server 
(NetApp) through http address from web browser.
I tried to use Windows shortcut, but It didn't work. Seems that Tomcat 
recognize a shortcut as a common file (.lnk) instead of a soft link.
How can I access it properly through http in the IE browser?

I can only access the files if the static files are put in the local disk.
I tried to use hard link and junction, but they work only on the local disk (on 
the same computer).
I tried to modify context.xml, but it didn't succeed.
Most of the solution in the internet is a soft link from local disk to local 
disk.

Thank you for your clues.
I'm still beginner in Tomcat administration.

Are you sure that this is your problem ?
If you have installed Tomcat in the standard way, Tomcat will run as a Service, under a 
user-id LocalSystem.  In Windows, this special user-id has no access to Windows network 
resources such as network-mapped drives etc..
In order for Tomcat to be able to access such drives, you will need to use a domain user 
to run the Tomcat Service.

This may or may not be your problem, but it is something that you should 
probably check first.

Hi André,

Yes, it's under Local System.
I think you are right. It's because of the access problem.

That's why all the errors are related to read/write access to the target 
directory.

Thank you for your clues.
