That does not sound particularly doable to me.
I'd assume that you'd want to look to the latest Tomcat 5.5.x for the
best static file handling you can get out of it and essentially take IIS
out of the picture.

HI
That;'s what i'm trying to do.. But the user credentials are held within a database.
Ideally, I want to forward to tomcat, do the login for the user, and somehow tell IIS all static conent from the session(or user) is allowed. Equally, I dont want the users to bookmark the pdf/html files(as these people pay to see them).
I'm not sure how to do this with the web server, surely there must be a
standard way of achieving this. I've searched google but unable to find
information about this.
Cheers

Sounds like IIS should be doing your authentication...
