Johnny's right. Just think of the fun and hijinks malicious web
developers could bring to the table if they could reference any file
(document or command) they could guess the path to. Add some ajax and
the fun get's even better.
IMHO, it's a good thing this doesn't work.

No... what I'm trying to tell you is that if your servlet makes a page
with file/// links... microsofts new security is going to stop it from
working.... nothing to do with Tomcat.
Other browsers also do it
If a page is delivered by Tomcat or any server with file:/// links you
going to have problems.
Here are somethings to help u

Subject: Re: linux + tomcat, some path/link problem
thanks men, actually I've already tried to add " file:// " prefix
explicitly to filePath in A href link, and in mozilla I can see the
property of link appear to be " file:///root/test.html " , which is a
good sign, huh? but, woo, hate this but, no matter how hard i clicked,
the browsers made no reaction, it won't jump to test.html. the same
thing happened in opera, so I guess it maybe still have something to
with tomcat. I'm gonna work on this after work
