I have the same requirement, and had made the same decision (to use file store as opposed to the database). This is probably a dumb question, but: I looked at bodington- are you referring to a course or to downloading their system and going through their code to see how they did it? TIA.

A lot depends on your environment. For small projects I tend to store in database - being able to get a consistent snapshot of database and filestore is important in some of the applications I work in. Sakai (www.sakaiproject.org) can be configured to do either - small sites often store in the database, the large sites (100,000+ users) tend to store on filestore due to size restrictions on their RDMBSs. Bodington (www.bodington.org) stores in filestore outside the servlet's URL space, and has code to parse the request URL, check security, read the file from filestore and deliver it if desired. Unless you *know* you can control security in other ways, I'd suggest going down the Bodington route if you want to use filestore. Sakai and Bodington are both in Java under suitably free licenses (Sakai's ESL, Bod is Apache2), so you could probably lift code from either if it fit your requirements. I've no doubt there are other projects out there that have the same requirements (and probably cleaner code); these are merely two I know. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
