np I don't understand why you're or your webapp is looking here: /myapp/jsp/app/C666119.pdf
when the files are available here: /pdf/C666119.pdf Is the first a filesystem path, or a web URL? When you say "my webapp does not pull it from here", what do you mean by that? Sorry if I came to this late, but what does your webapp do and why is it looking there, and not at /pdf/C666119.pdf? Is it just a link that you're clicking or does your webapp download/open the PDF file?
