including javascript file in a servlet via SRC attribute

Tue, 15 Jun 1999 15:04:03 -0700 

 Hi, All!
   I'm creating a form in a servlet, and I want to call a javascript f-n on
Submit.
   If I embed the function body directly into the servlet, like :

   toClient.println("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">");
   toClient.println("function validate(this) { ....");
        ....
   toClient.println("</SCRIPT");

     --  everything works fine.

But if I try to include this function from an external file, validate.js,
like:
      toClient.println("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\"
SRC=\"/absolute_path/validate.js></SCRIPT>");

    I get an error 403: FORBIDDEN
    Will not serve files, only servlets

  Does it mean that I cannot refer from a servlet to an external file?

Thanks,
Marina
