I don't think there really is one. read on: : I have seen a couple of threads of putting these : "included" jsp files in a separate web application that is not : overwritten... but I was wondering if there was a better solution. Some would say that keeping those JSP files in another app *is* the better solution. Keep in mind, webapps are meant to be self-contained units. You should design your apps such that they can be placed in a sealed WAR file (e.g. you don't need to touch file components at runtime). In turn, this means anything that's going to change throughout the lifetime of the webapp should live outside of it: filesystem (you'd have to write your own code to stream the data), database, another webapp (i.e. dedicating a single webapp to be "the file store"), etc. Such separation provides the additional benefit of letting your app scale to multiple machines. -QM -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
