well, if you want to authenticate users to download the files, your software should handle the direct file requests (for example http://localhost/download/x.gif), because the direck file requests does not call action servlet in a standart struts designed web.xml file. With a servlet you can manage the direct requests, URLs like the example above. Let me give you the web.xml part to give you the idea
<servlet> <servlet-name>DownloadAccessor</servlet-name> <display-name>DownloadAccessor</display-name> <servlet-class>com.mypackage.DownloadAccessor</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>10</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>DownloadAccessor</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/downloads/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> F. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Viral_Thakkar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 1:55 PM Subject: RE: downloading of files Should I write the action class for the download functionality or servlet code required? -----Original Message----- From: Firat TIRYAKI [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 3:45 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: downloading of files Define a download accessor class (that you'll write using servlet functionality) in the web.xml file that manages the file when requested.
