Subject: Access Local File System
I have written i simple web application using Eclipse and Tomcat 6. I'm
trying to stream a flv video in jsp page. It works good if flv file is
located under webroot, but when i change location ex. c:/ the file is not
loaded. I'm using jw player so i opened a question in that forum, and i
received an answer that there is no way to access local filesystem from
tomcat (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=11464) . here is my sample
code:
<div id="container">
Get the Flash Player to see this video.</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var s1 = new SWFObject("mediaplayer.swf","mediaplayer","500","450","8");
s1.addParam("allowfullscreen","true");
s1.addVariable("width","500");
s1.addVariable("height","450");
s1.addVariable('file', 'file:///C:/video/star.flv');
s1.write("container");
</script>
Im trying to load a file that is located into c:/video
Any idea,
Thanks in advance

Well, I think this is enuf to confuse anyone ;)
You see the script runs in the browser... so this
('file:///C:/video/star.flv') looks like you trying to access a file on the
local system... "on the users machine"... if so you outta luck because a
browser gets unhappy when the page comes from a server and tries to access
the local file system... its a security thing...
But I imagine that when it works you using something like (star.flv) which
probably means
http://thedomain/webapp/star.flv.... and its coming from the server.... but
you want it out side of Tomcat...
Google for Context and DocBase.... you'll figure out how to make tomcat see
a file outside of the normal structure.... it allows you to put the webapp
anywhere on the machine....
Good Luck ;)
