I think you are misunderstanding what is really going on at a fundamental level. Tomcat will never invoke Microsoft Word for any reason, unless you have something truly crazy going on in the background. What I'm suggesting is that you write your own code to serve the contents of a static file. It's pretty simple: open the file, write the appropriate HTTP headers, copy the bytes to the servlet output stream, close all streams, and you are done. > The only issue with that is that > the file is created in the RTF format and it has control characters that > governs the formatting. This is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if you are serving a text file or a PDF, you are just serving bytes to the web browser. > The second question was about how to set up TOMCAT not to allow the > directory listing Actually, I think you have to specifically enable directory listings. If you haven't enabled them, then you shouldn't be getting any. Are you able to get a directory listing? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG+op/9CaO5/Lv0PARAjKYAKCiAakzT34vnC6U2Qz6cN2LpNL6hQCdGDGi gkHO3hS4/W3Y4auUSX2Y/oA= =Rrq5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
