Re: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF

[Erik Price]

I do not think you can forward to a .exe file, not sure of what the spec says but the Javadoc says only JSP or HTML files.

This link will probably get broken in your mail client, but if you reassemble it you can read the doc:

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/RequestDispatcher.html#forward(javax.servlet.ServletRequest,%20javax.servlet.ServletResponse)

Subject: RequestDispatcher and WEB-INF


I want to give out an exe after an authorization. So I
put the exe in WEB-INF to avoid direct access, and
tried to do:
	RequestDispatcher rd =
req.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/my.exe");
      rd.forward (req, res);

Tomcat 4.0.6 says /WEb-INF/my.exe cannot be found.

I dont know how this is different from what Craig
mentioned at

Thank you
Rf
