Well, it's sort of related to the fact that the servlet specification says that you can't serve files directly out of the WEB-INF directory. I'm uncertain, but I believe that this was related to a bug in Tomcat 4.0.4. I think in Tomcat 4.1.10, this works. However, there is probably a better way to do this, which is to use the Struts tag that is designed to do this sort of thing, which is "bean:resource". -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
