Off the top of my head, couldn't you "pipe" together a FileInputStream and a ServletOutputStream ?
Something like: - open input stream - open output stream to browser - read in file, piping it to output stream - close file stream - close servlet stream The user would never know where the file is on the server, it could be anywhere. You'd have to make sure you passed the right content header to the browser, so the browser would know what to do with the data it was getting back. Just brainstorming, it may not work.

I need to publish a site that requires a user to fill in a form before displaying a download link. What I need to do is to hide the file to be downloaded so that it cannot be downloaded without the form being filled in - i.e it can only be downloaded from a particular generated JSP page. Can I do this with Tomcat? Thanks in advance.
