Why not just store the file in a database as a BLOB? Let the database worry about where they go...
-----Original Message----- From: Zach Moazeni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 2:16 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Accessing Files outside of WebApp Hello, In our current application I need to link to a file that resides outside of the webapp directory. On another application we allowed the users upload files and stored them in the webapp directory, which made deployment a royal pain. This time we are storing the files in a location external to Tomcat, however I need to let the users click a link so they can download and open the file. I'd rather not "copy over" the file to a tmp directory from which they download. In Apache there was something like <Location>, is there something like that in Tomcat? Thanks for any input. -Zach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
