Also one other thing...hitting the Servlet via
"./FileDownloader/MyDoc.doc?id=#{doc.id}" (using JSF)
Doesnt' seem to hit the servlet, but going to
"./FileDownloader?id=#{doc.id}"
does.
Thanks for any input

Alrighty,
I was able to push the download to the client with this snipbit of
code I wrote:
File file = new
File("C:\\wolverine-documents\\inquiryDocs\\1010\\Operations Use Cases
V1.3.doc");
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] bytes = new byte[fin.available()];
fin.read(bytes);
res.getOutputStream().write(bytes);
res.getOutputStream().close
And the client can download it and open the file. Everything jives.
Problem I'm having is the file name download is the same thing as my
Servlet Mapping.
Is there something I can set in either the response Header, or a way
to map the servlet in such a way that the clients seems to receive the
normal file and not a file which has the same name as the Servlet?
(A snipbit from my web-xml)
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>FileDownloadServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/FileDownloader*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I Appreciate any input

Even then I have to bring out the byte array into somewhere so that
they're link is active. Like I said I'd rather not do any type of
copy over for this link.
Plus I'm not too keep on Blobs in databases anyway.
I think the other's suggestion of the Servlet mapping will do great.
Thanks for all the input.

Why not just store the file in a database as a BLOB? Let the database

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.
