I can put something together, but not until tonight -- it'll take too
long to do at work. In the meantime, feel free to google. This is such
a simple item I'm sure someone has done it before and posted their
experiences.

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...

Those files are in a proprietary format..you'll need to go to adobe

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
