<a href="WEB-INF/someFile.txt">Click Here!</a> would lead to a 404 if
the user clicks on it as I previously explained.
Now imagine a servlet:
public class BadServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
throws IOException, ServletException {
String requestedFile = req.getParameter("requestedFile");
InputStream is =
getServletContext().getResourceAsStream(requestedFile);
BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
String line = null;
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
while((line = bis.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(line);
}
bis.close();
}
}
Map this servlet in web.xml to /BadServlet, and go to
http://localhost:8080/BadServlet?requestedFile=/WEB-INF/someFile.txt to
see how it's served. I typed the above from memory without testing, but
it should be close enough to illustrate this point, which is: what
you're doing is bad design.
