Is this a relatively simply task; if so, could you outline the steps
required - if not, perhaps you could point to a resource for 
learning how to do this.

Thanks
Derek

PS Any idea if this can be done via Tomcat or Jetty?

We continue to experience problems with static content such as PDF
documents, Word files, and some images going through Cocoon. We have
started
using the redirect directive in Apache so that all PDF documents are
served
directly through Apache and avoid sending PDF documents through Cocoon.
This
has solved our PDF problems in IE. We are in the process of
implementing
this for all static files, PDF Word, images etc. Cocoon will handle
transformation of XHTML content in our web publishing system template,
Apache will serve all static content. There is a noticeable
performance
increase when serving static files through Apache instead of Cocoon.

If you don't use anything which can be mistaken as an extension, IEx
uses the content-type to decide what to do with the content. If you've
got a dot in the last component of the URL, it depends whether the
string after the last dot is a a registered file extension in the
Windows registry.
There's still the problem that the content may be retrieved twice
or even three times.

Cocoon's mapping mechanism makes it is easy to use URLs ending
in .pdf for PDF content.
