Subject: [SERVLET-INTEREST] opening pdf with servlet
> I have created a servlet that accesses a database full of pdf file names
and
> writes a list of links to the pdf files accessible to the viewer (the
> servlet checks authentication at login). However, since the servlet
> produces links to the pdf files, anyone can take that url and type it
> straight into a browser to directly access files and bypass the
> authentication check.
>
> Is there a way for the servlet to open the file without the location
> appearing in the "Properties" of that file or in the browser heading?
I've
> checked the archives, but only found discussions on creating pdf files
with
> servlets. I already have the files created, I just want to keep them
> secure.
>
> Thanks for the help.
