I am in the same boat as Bob. I already have a servlet displaying the
filenames to select from. My servlet is mapped to a different name in
web.xml file. How should I proceed. Should I have another new servlet?
What about for different file formats. Should it also be mapped?
thanks,
suba suresh.

I would recommend a servlet that streams the files from some configured
absolute path(s) to the client. It's reasonably simple and allows you
some degree of control over what is delivered. Map the servlet to *.pdf
in your web.xml to make it respond to all requests for pdfs.

For the client side, sure.
I already know it works if I copy the pdf file under my tomcat
application... I just don't want to move hundreds of files there...

Bob

Those files are in a proprietary format..you'll need to go to adobe
and get the PDF plugin/viewer for display-

I have the same problem as Bob but files mapping into different file
systems. I also tried the context mapping as you (Mark)had suggested
with app.xml file. I will read about the link config tomorrow and try
it. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
suba suresh.

Mark,
No... Didn't know about it...
Now that I know about it (Thank You), I'm not sure of what really
needs to
be done... No where under $CATALINA_HOME do I have a
defaultcontext.xml, context.xml,
or similarly named file. All of my similarly named files are *.html
files
or
directories, as follows:
#pwd
/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat-5
# find . -name \*context\* -print
./server/webapps/admin/context
./server/webapps/admin/defaultcontext
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/printer/context.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/printer/defaultcontext.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/context.html
./webapps/tomcat-docs/config/defaultcontext.html
./webapps/wade2/scripts/contextmenu.css
So I'm not sure what to do - any advice?
Regards,
Bob

I have Tomcat 5.0.28 running on AIX 5.2.
Under the webapps/appname directory, if I create a symbolic link to
the
pdf
files, they will not display.
Have you enabled linking? See the allowLinking property at
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/config/context.html
