Well, all things considered, that was one of the most entertaining emails I've read today! Thanks for the info, too. Do you know of any reference that addresses this, how to map the external directories and use them in a secure fashion?

I'm referring to going through their code - *if* you can face it. That's quite a big if. Bodington is a bit odd, as a fair hunk of the core is >10 years old - it has its own template language, its own sessions, its own database independence layer... basically it ignores most of the functionality that's now in the container, as it was written before these had stabilised. [sounds of Peter rummaging through the Bodington code] OK, scratch that. The code from Bodington probably isn't reusable in any sensible timeframe unless you also want a complete way of storing a file structure in a database (so the structure's in the database, but the bytes in the files are stored outside, possibly with mangled names to deal with characters that are illegal on the particular platform). If you do, try org.bodington.server.UploadedFileSessionImpl and its dependencies - and prepare to enter looking-glass land! - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
