Reinhard, thanks for replying to both of these.

I'd like to deploy only Tomcat - its for a standalone app. Whilst I can serve from outside of the webapps directory, the content is still part of the webapp.

We are uploading content by FTP and fetching with HTTPClient. If I write the content into my webapp directory it will be overwritten when the app is upgraded. But if I write the content into anywhere else the DefaultServlet won't serve it. (It won't surprise you to learn that my DefaultServlet bug report is connected:-)

Hence my interest in a version of DefaultServlet which I can point at another root in the filesystem.

Hi again,

this sounds like you should use apache for that.
Are you using a specific download manager on the client side?

Note you can always configure tomcat to serve content outside of webapps. Just
use context.xml-Configuration:

Hi

I need to serve content from directories other than webapps, but need
to support resumable downloads (and hence serve ETag response headers
and correctly respond to Range and If-Range request headers).

I've cast high and low for some code which fits the bill, but can
find nothing. Does anyone know of a nice file servlet implementation?

Thanks in anticipation.
