SMB for Windows, SMB or NFS for Linux.  Try putting 
file://[host]/[share]/[file] in an IE address bar.  (Firefox handles the 
file:// protocol somewhat erratically.)

The above is true in that there's no current standard, but file:// is often 
used.  There's also an smb:// RFC that's been submitted to IETF, don't know if 
or when that will be approved.

Nor does the Tomcat source code; in either case, you better know what you're 
doing and have good reason to make changes.

It's not just being tidy - it's required.
