Hello Tomcat experts, I'm using Tomcat6 on my web application which is running on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. I want to access static files (PDF) in the remote directory on the disk server (NetApp) through http address from web browser. I tried to use Windows shortcut, but It didn't work. Seems that Tomcat recognize a shortcut as a common file (.lnk) instead of a soft link. How can I access it properly through http in the IE browser?
I can only access the files if the static files are put in the local disk. I tried to use hard link and junction, but they work only on the local disk (on the same computer). I tried to modify context.xml, but it didn't succeed. Most of the solution in the internet is a soft link from local disk to local disk. Thank you for your clues. I'm still beginner in Tomcat administration. Rudi
