Pete, Read the spec. Files under WEB-INF cannot be served directly by Tomcat.
You need a security constraint on a folder under your doc root. See the code in the manager for some ideas. Or have your servlet stream the file back to the client, but this is not recommended as it can cause security issues. Or I think you can also use a filter, but I'm not up on filters.
